    Midnight majesty marans

    MMM hens continue to perform well. With five MMM hens in the flock, getting four dark eggs on most days. Now that they are mature they resemble Australorpe hens with black shiny feathers sporting a green and or purple sheen.

    Found first MMM egg in nest boxes yesterday. Smaller as first eggs always are but definitely darker than any of my other birds. The MMM hens are about five months old.

I bought some sapphire gem chicks at Rural King and snuck them under her in the middle of the night. I was hoping she would think they are her babies and adopt them. Worked perfectly, she is off the...

    I agree I have tried several breeds over the years but these birds are gentle, handsome, and great layers.

    This hen and rooster are the result of an Australorp hen and a RIR rooster cross. Very nice calm birds and they lay well.
