    My eggs are getting darker every generation. As long as you have a confirmed rooster with dark egg gene.

    BlueTheBrahma’s thread!

    Congrats.... stunning colors, my friend. 12 of our 20 BCM girls are laying + 9 more pullets are 16 weeks. The Silvers are all laying, Solo just started back up a week ago.

    Marans genetic and how to breed them to SOP

    Exactly my thinking as well with White. Even Splash didn't peak any interest until I got hatched the Splash Silver boy, but I still favor the Silver over Copper. The gold in the Splash Coppers just looks dirty/diluted. The White/Silver blends in more.

    I'm going to add just a smidgen to the evaluation @BlueTheBrahma gave. My thoughts, if you will. Your not breeding for SOP, so #1 priorities are temperament, how he treats his ladies, and he's handsome. Blue gave him just a quick once over, but he scored a very nice rating. So moving forward if...

    Wrath's Marans

    I noticed that also. I don't know the standard so had to look, @2ndTink may know more. I actually like his tail but it seems low for the Standard below. Reminds me of Poppy's and Monstrosity Blue's tail. Tried to pick the pics that he seemed more relaxed. The other pics he was holding his...
