Oh lots of Marans, very fun. I have 2 BCMs and one Blue Copper covered by a BCM roo. Id like to add a few more Marans into the mix.

My Blue Marans is just over 20 weeks. From reading this thread, it sounds like we easily have another month or two to go before we can expect eggs from her. I can't wait!
