Thanks poularde! I love her.

She's one of my sweetest girls, she'll walk right up to you and eat from your hand, making sweet noises the entire time.

Cracker makes me smile big!

You know I named my little creamy white goat Cracker too....but it never stuck....I call him PorkChop instead. Don't ask!

I love Don's sense of humor.....I laughed soooo hard when I read that, DH had to ask what was SO funny. I had to tell him he would never understand since he's not a frequent flyer around here.

Hey Girl! Hope your doing great!
Thanks for posting pics of them.....I think you have yourself a cockerel (first photo) and 2 pullets (second photo).

Saw Remi and Winny...both are looking great!

I think if memory serves me correctly and I saw the Black Coppers over in the Black Copper thread and they both looked like girls too......but before I commit to that I will run over and double check if I can find the post again.

I am thinking about naming the little Roo, Rudy cuz man is he rude!

He was picking on a couple of his little brood mates last night so I seperated him for a little while. Seemed to cool things off. The other two are nice as can be. Not even to mention....Remi and Winny (the favorites

) Cute little girls.

How many have Black Maran's, is the solid black just not that popular?

I have 5 13 week old Black Maran's, 3 pullets and 2 cockerels.

Check out how black even the pigment on her face is

Here is one of my BM cockerels

Are all of your Black Marans clean leg ? I see very few with feather legs. Now that the Marans are recognized by APA to show they will need to have feathered legs.

Yes thankfully they have clean legs, I dont particularly care for feathered legs. These are not show birds nor breeding stock, I was just showing some Black Marans that I never see posted. I'd like to see some more of others.

I was also interested in how dark the "skin" pigment of the pullet pictured first was. In person she is black from head to toe.
