    Trisha, You met my sister at the post office yesterday and I guess you two had quite a conversation. She called me last night and sounded like you put a very big impression on her. She wanted me to look up your site here on BYC. I have three different types of Marans, Welsummers and Silver...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    I have 30 marans eggs that are due to hatch in a couple of weeks. I plan to place them in an egg carton for hatching, this will be my first time trying this method. Should I place them straight up or slant them as much as possible?

Do you stand them up straight or slant them as much as possible? This is...

    The Welsummer Thread!!!!

    Quote: Search~ The BCM that were the same age very well could have molted out those white feathers after their first big molt. There are some lines of BCM that will have a couple white primaries until the big molt or they gradually turn black. No worries about the white on the BCM until after...

    The Welsummer Thread!!!!

    Happy Chooks, PinkChick, Thanks for the reply. I also have some BCM the same age and some had white flight feathers. But, they are gone so I'm thinking this fellers white flight feather is here to stay. Guess I will give him a little more time. Thanks again.

    The Welsummer Thread!!!!

    Question: I have some young Wellies, four months old. One of the cockerels I was hoping to not cull has a white flight feather. Would I be correct in assuming that at this age he is not going to lose it. These birds are Grisham/Hall line. Thanks in advance.
