    Ideal Poultry v.s. Meyer Hatchery

    I live in VA and ordered from Ideal out of TX. Have been very satisfied. Last time I ordered, an unexpected cold snap went through the mid-Atlantic states...chicks arrived in the middle of it. 5 died. I called Ideal and they credited me for my next order. Always been friendly, helpful and all...

    Blue Copper and Splash Copper Marans Discussion

    I see we live in near enough proximity to each in Virginia. I too have BCM and Blue CM from the Wade/Jean line. I've had 3 hatchings from this line. This weekend, I'm butchering the ones that do not have good characteristics, 22 in all. I'm working on the Blue & Splash lines…just think they are...

    Blue Copper and Splash Copper Marans Discussion

    Hi Everyone, A few days ago, I asked for info on some of my CM's and desired a mentor. I had several responses and enjoyed the private messages. My daughter-in-law and I are on education overload on the Marans--but thoroughly enjoying this venture. This forum and community is wonderful. A BIG...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    Thank you for replying. Your question about the authenticity of lineage, is one of my concerns also. I can only go on the info that was given when I purchased the eggs. That's why I said, "supposedly" when giving the lineage of my birds. Love to know the answer to this dilemma also!

    Hi Everyone, I need your help. Not sure if this is the right spot to post, tried under the Breeds, Genetic, & Showing and then found this more specific for Marans. I have about 50-60 laying hens. Too many different breeds to list. I'm moving toward 3-4 breeds. Leghorns for their supersonic...

    Critique my Black CM

    I am such a novice. Have had chickens for 10 years--layers. Saw the BCM and fell in love. At present I have a Black CM roo and 5 hens; plus a Blue CM and 3 hens. I lean toward the blues, but before I make any decisions, I need those of you who are experienced to critique my roo and blue hens. My...

    Hello from Northern Virginia

    We've never thought about selling our eggs. We give them to neighbors and the local church food pantry.

    Hello from Northern Virginia

    I found your site because I'm looking for bantam Cuckoo Marans roosters. Love the large breed and have had two dear standard marans roosters (RicRac & NicNac). We lost both to natural causes. They were huge. I don't want large marans for breeding purposes so I've decided to go w/bantams as our...
