Quote: I like that egg. IF you don't want the hen who lays them, I'll take her. lololol These look round to me. Still working on egg color. A work in progress

It is in the APA's best interest to bring the Marans on board. There will be a definite increase in attendance at APA sanctioned shows. There will be a credible standard to go by. And the breed club should be the one to affirm the standard. Any extras, like an egg show should be given the...

I don't see how a judge can accurately judge a bird for both egg color and confirmation IF the bird is a male. What does a judge do then? Do you carry from show to show the egg he hatched from? lolol Unfortunately, I agree with snowbird. The judge can only judge what is in front of him...
