    Quote: Buddy Henry's farm was in Tennessee last I know, but the site is gone. He is a member here - goes by "Wheaties" - I don't know him, but I thought he was a pretty well - known breeder. It is my understanding that he was a pretty well known breeder and had some nice birds...

    Quote: Hello DMRippy -Just for clarification because this may help you and/or others --- blue does not replace the black allele. Blues still carry 2 black alleles at the extension locus, they just also carry blue at a different location. Does that make sense? So your splashes? They still...

    Quote: This looks more like a salmon - is it silver salmon perhaps? If you are getting it out of another variety, you will have to cull any that come out with the Autosomal red and mahogany, etc for Silver Salmons and if they're gold too - you want a clearly salmon breast - she may have it...

    Hey Don - I don't know! I've often wondered how Mr. Stocker got them....but could be indeed! He had Wellies so?

    PS - this thread is insanely huge! I think the Marans need their own area!

    Hi Lotsapaints - I am so sorry to break this to you. I feel horrible that I have to - I do not want to sound rude or insensitive, but these are not salmons. I can't - in good conscience - not say anything because we cannot allow anyone to think this is what a Golden Salmon Marans should look...

    Looking for help identifying Marans

    Quote: No, it is genetically a simple Gold Duckwing, s+/s+ e+/e+ , which is known as a Partridge/Black Breasted Red, as in OEG, Welsummer etc. The Salmon refers to its Autosomal Red (Salmon ) breast. A Silver Salmon Marans would look like a Silver Grey Dorking. The Pattern gene is not found...

    material for building a small, mobile coop

    TSC has a 27' long by 24" high roll of chicken wire for $9.99. If you are anywhere near me (GA) I have a big roll (probably at least 20 feet long of old 2"x4" 4' high wire you can have - it wouldn't keep little chicks in - but it would keep them in eventually.

    Bantams and chicken coop size

    It's square feet, that is quite a small area really ( 4 square feet is a 2x2 foot square). I still always give them much larger areas than the minimum required! According to the Gail Damerow book, 2.5- 3 square feet per bantam is required. That's really pretty small. Smaller than my Dane's baby...

    Bantam coops

    That is so cute! Did you use a plan? I bought a book of plans, but found they were really lacking in a lot of things, but it did give me some ideas....
