    The Middle Tennessee Thread

    Anyone interested in Marans Roosters? I'm overloaded with roosters they have to go real soon or in going to Cull them. I've already began. I have Black Copper, Blue Copper, Blue Splash and Blue Marans. They were hatched in late January and early February. They're currently in Dover.

    How to breed wheaton/blue wheatons??

    I have 2 wheaten hens and a Splash rooster. Will their offspring be blue wheaten? I also have a Blue Marans chick that's 2 weeks old looks like a roostersince he's already got a red comb. Would the Blue work better than Splash?

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    My Americaunas took 6 months while the Marans took 7 months to lay. I bought the Americaunas chicks while the Marans were hatching and put them in the brooder together. Crooss between the two should be 6 to 7 months to get eggs.

    Wheaten and Blue wheaten Marans Discussion Thread

    The wheaten hens I have probably from my Splash rooster all have the yellowish colored legs and beaks are kind of peachy colored. Whereas my Splash chick has the grayish white legs and beak.
