Thanks

of the hens only #1 and #2 are presently laying the eggs which I will take pics of soon are ranking a 4 on the Marans chart, although one is almost a 5 and very redish. I was hoping they would be darker but they arent, I still have 2 more hens though that should begin laying this month.

These are old pics of my roo cause my camera died before I could get a new shot. He was injured at the time but is almost 100% recovered now

My Roo is Very friendly and has just the right amount of copper on his chest.
