    MARANS (All Colors Included) Learning Thread for Newbee's

    Snowbird, here is a pic of my Marans. The rooster has no tail to speak of yet. Can you identify the other pullets and what they are called by color? Do they all lay brown eggs?

    I have 2 Marans pullets that are 3 to 4 months old. They are completely black. Could this be black copper Marans? I think one has a green sheen. New to the breed.

    Is there a forum just for Marans in general, not a specific color or type?

    I have a Cockoo Rooster question... He is about 4 months old. A cuckoo Marans rooster. His legs were a slate gray, today when I went to put ice in their water, I noticed that they were almost a flesh color. Is this normal? New to the breed.

    I usually save my charcoal ashes for my tomato plants. Can I use it for a dust bath?

    Tail feathers question.

    I forgot that the do that (molts within year one). I'll bet that's what it is. None had tail feathers when I got them, now only one doesn't, the cuckoo rooster.
