My SBEL pullets started laying yesterday...bought from My Pet Chicken as day olds. Wanted DARKER eggs but, the pullets are healthy and spitfires! So they will be crossed with either my Wheaten AM roo, the Blue AM roo or the TBW roo. Waiting for my TBW girls to start to lay...4-6 wks? --
I want the blue like is being held in the hand in previous replies She says the darker are CL eggs. Well, I have a "mutt" roo that is Blk AM hen crossed with a CL roo.....I was going to re-home but, may cross with one or two hens next Spring to see what that does.
Anyhow --- I intend to read this thread more intensely tonight to see how I want to cage these birds. Guess I will take some of the Marans roos to a sale next week. We all know how "too many" we get in a hatch. Anyone butchered a Marans? Any difference in meat taste? Supposedly French had them for dual use & swear it's better. Hmmm.
