    My Black tailed Red Marans

    I'm not sure why my first sentence was cut off but I ordered these 4 yrs ago. Thanks for the invite. Also these are all pullets around 9-10 months old and I'm getting 5 eggs per hen a/wk right now with the below freezing temps so I'm very pleased

    My Black tailed Red Marans

    Thanks. I ordered these chick s 4 years ago and have been hatching for egg color since. I've raised BCM for years (wade jean, little peddler) but have had darker eggs with these black tailed Red Marans. And yes you're correct about it only being recognized in Europe

    My Black tailed Red Marans

    Yes I'll take some pictures of them tomorrow. They are similar to the color of those island reds but with feathered in legs. The hens are a little lighter red

    My Black tailed Red Marans

    I've been working with this breed for 3 yrs now and have been really pleased with them. Good layers of extremely dark eggs and good temperament . here's a picture of eggs from today. The one green egg is from a f6 olive egger

    Just cocks no hens. Is hubbys car safe?

    I just got back into peafowl a year ago. My dad had them for years and i built my house 50 yds from the barn in 2009. Within 6 months one male was pecking and spurring my french patio door seeing his reflection, but the final straw for the wife was when he scratched up the side of her new jeep...

    Incubating Chicken Eggs

    If none of the eggs left have pipped then i would pull them out and candle them. At least you will know if any are living. Ive never had any hatch after day 23

    Im in East Tennessee, right on the North Carolina line in the mountains. Its been unusually warm the past month or so. When we had peahens years ago they normally wouldn't lay until may.

    Got my first pea eggs!!!

    I was gathering my chicken eggs and I have 3 peafowl free ranging, and noticed 3 eggs in an old chicken nest in the loft of my barn, 2 hrs later there was 4. Can't decide whether to leave them and let the hen set or to grab them and stick them in the incubator. Hopefully she'll lay several more

    Tips for incubating peacock eggs?

    I have the larger turner for my nurture right 360 tbat only holds 12 eggs and I had pretty good success hatching with it last year. On shipped eggs I was able to hatch 8 out of 12

    Harched out my first black tailed red marans

    I have several bloodlines of Black copper marans (Bev Davis, Wade Jean and Lil Peddler) and they all lay beautiful eggs but the one BTRM hen lays a consistently darker egg than any of them
