    Wheaten and Blue wheaten Marans Discussion Thread

    A wheaten hen with a white feather in the wing, I know should be bred away from but what is the rule in the show ring? Is it a DQ? May be a dumb question but I want to be sure.

    Let's talk Golden Cuckoo Marans!

    This is a first generation cross of a Black Copper rooster and a standard cuckoo hen. I can't wait to see how he finishes coloring in.

    Let's talk Golden Cuckoo Marans!

    I asked a friend of mine about this that is very tuned in to the Cuckoos and the genetics behind them. This was her response...... "They will be varying shades until you choose for one shade. It also depends on the rate of feather growth and melanizers." I asked her if the birds that...

    Wheaten and Blue wheaten Marans Discussion Thread

    Looks like you have a pretty good start to me, much better than a lot of what I see people starting out with. He looks to have a nice long back and pretty good depth. Overall I think he has pretty good type. I like the hackle a little bit darker. What line is he from? And do you have any females...

    Has anyone here created their own line of Golden Cuckoos? I'm just curious what the preferred variety to cross with the cuckoo is.

    Wheaten and Blue wheaten Marans Discussion Thread

    I'm still hatching as well. My wheaten hatch this year took a big hit when a critter decided they needed my grow outs more than I did. They spared me two wheaten pullets and two cockerels, a handfull of black and blue coppers and a couple cuckoos. Im slowed way down now since my ladies are...

    If I had to guess your Blue Wheaten was probably developed out of Blue Coppers at some point. I don't know what your goal is in making the cross but I wouldn't recommend it. But with that being said they're your chickens and you can do as you please with them.
