It is Debi . I had some Bev Davis BC Marans and lost the only roo I had. I sent the hens up to NY to my brother. He bred it to a roo that was supposed to be Wade Jean line and he shipped me some eggs I hatched them and only kept 2 hens and a roo. I will hatch some again this year and see what...
I have played around with breeding Olive eggers and I had beautifully muffed brown egg layers but I find the tighter the pea comb the bluer the egg. Ameraucanas should have a pea comb.
Ok, Marans should have dark shanks but if the bottoms of their feet were black as chicks wouldn't that denote that they have black skin? I am not an expert!
