Wheaten Marans
Stunning birds! The wheatens have been the hardest variety of marans to obtain quality breed stock. We searched long and hard across the US and finally found some of the best. These pictures were taken when our birds were 8 months old. They are very docile and make wonderful...
Blue Copper Marans
If beauty is in the eye the beholder, you need to stick a blue copper marans in your eye! of
We love their grey/blue feathering and our blue coppers lay large, dark eggs. The middle rooster is from Mari Krebs line. Isn't he striking? And he's only about 7 months old in this...
Black Copper Marans
Our BCM's were obtained from reputable breeders in Florida, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas. Bloodlines consist of Davis, Jeane, Grisham. The birds are feathering out beautifully with copper necks and lustrous black feathers becoming more prevelant everyday (when they are not...
Barnevelders
These pictures of our Barneys and eggs were taken a couple of weeks ago. We have 14 hens with 3 roosters. They are 9 months old and have been laying beautiful, darkbrown eggs for the past 2 months. We have checked fertility and hatched 27/28 eggs last week. The next batch is set to...
Blue Laced Red Wyandottes
We are up to two BLRW pens now. One pen has a black laced red roo over our splash hens. The other a dark and light blue roo over the blue and black hens. They have been frisky and fertile and at last check we have about 50 chicks between 3 days and 3 months old! We...
We have way more birds than time it seems. So we are selling down our flocks of BBS Ameraucanas, double laced Barnevelders, Black Copper, Blue Copper and Wheaten Marans, and Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. We also have bantam double laced Barnevelders. All our stock is from individual breeders'...

We can not keep these and time is quickly running out for them . If you have a friend/relative close by, I would be glad to...
We had an overly successful test hatch on our bantam barnevelders and now need the brooder space for other breeds. These chicks were hatched 3/17, 3/20 and 3/27.
They are Gabbard line bantams and lay a nice small to medium light brown egg. Great lacing and temperment with these birds, just have...
Hi Bantams in Maine,
I was just searching BYC for a place to say that we have bantam barnevelder hatching eggs. They are laying nice eggs and we will be setting all we'll need this Wednesday. After that, they'll all go to the fridge. I'd be glad to go snap you a few pictures and give you more...
HI,
We'd like to find a healthy, able-bodied silver cuckoo marans male for a breeding project. We live in AL and will be in Newnan, GA for the CVPA show next month if pick-up there is possible.
Dark egg color more important to us than the leg feathering. If you have hatching eggs, we'd be...
Claudia,
You did an excellent job on the show! So well in fact, you were nominated to chair the April show after you left . Just kidding! Everyone was complimenting on how smooth everything went off. Kudos to you!
I'm working on a short write-up for an educational petting zoo that is showcasing different breeds of chickens. Does anyone know when, how, why the barnevelder came to America?
I thought I'd read it came back with soldiers following WWI, but I can not put my finger back on that webpage for...
Save your money for what?
I had mine read in Memphis when my dh and I were just starting to date. She said I would not marry the man I was dating and I guess, looking back, we were both a little different back then . Also that I would have 3 sons. Well, I only have one son, but my daughters...
Do any of you take pictures of your normally penned chickens outside of the coop/run and how do they react to their new-found freedom? We have planted a sunflower patch and I'd really like to make some pics of all the different breeds posed in front of them next month. I don't know how they will...
