2012 Marans Breeder Thread !!!!

[OldChurchEggery1]

Hello. I'm in Virginia and have the Wheaten variety. I'll finally be hatching some of my own this spring instead of shipped eggs/chicks. Should be an adventure!

I have a very small flock, one Copper Blue cockerel, two copper blue hens, and two copper black hens. They are from Bev Davis line, no new genetics introduced, three generations of my own breeding choices. They tend to be better than average layers, compared to other marans. The egg color is acceptable, but not spectacular. Egg size is large+. Great meat qualities in carcasses of both hens and roos. Roos are gentle and non agressive. Toe feathering is usually correct. Sometiems a few sprigs on middle toes. Have never had a clean legged one pop up ever from this line. Sometimes combs are a little floppy. Blue usually develops white faults over time. Right now, you can see a dab of white on the roo's left wing flights. I bet by the time they are three, they will have some in the tails and wing tips though... They occasionally go broody, but not very often and not all at once. They are pretty good utility birds with the bonus of darker eggs. I don't start shipping until usually March for best resuts.
