Not all bad, it is Marans, which means darker eggs, but will not be as dark as BCM. You can use him to get to Olive Eggs if you have a blue layer, or EE, but it won't be dark....and all the chicks will be cuckoo'd (stripey) from him. But you did get your Marans. LofMc

Oct 27, 2015 #18 Gilmore768 Chirping Oct 12, 2014 56 21 97 Troy, MO Looks like a cockerel. I just went through the same weeks ago deciding. The pinkish comb says it all.
