I am in the market for some pullets laying dark brown/chocolate-colored eggs.
I bought a pair of Cuckoo Marans from McMurray's Hatchery, but they lay brown eggs. We live in the East Valley.
Please message me if you have a Copper Maran (or other bird) for sale. A picture of the eggs she lays...
Thanks for posting this question. I was wondering why my girls weren't laying dark eggs, and this thread popped up on my google search.
I had my heart set on some dark brown eggs for our basket, but alas, our Cuckoo Marans from McMurrays lay light brown eggs. Our birds are sweet and like to...
Thanks! I would love to see pictures of yours! Please let me know if you post some pictures. We donated the 5 roosters to a 4-H Club. Which left us with 2. Then, we bought a Buff Orp and Barred Rock. They are SO sweet!
Love this pic!

Hello everyone. Long time no chat. I just wanted to give you an update on the little ones. The neighbor's daughter-in-law dropped by and was able to answer a few questions for us. She said three different sets of chicks hatched, so we are not sure about their ages. We found out that all 7 of...
Thanks for the warm welcome! We "think" the chickens are about 15 weeks old now. The neighbor's daughter-in-law said three different sets of chicks hatched, so we are not sure about their ages. We recently found out that all 7 of them have an Orpington for a daddy; and six of them have a RIR for...
