Wow, thank you for those pictures!! I love the pic of the table full of eggs. Those mahogany-colored ones always take my breath away Thanks again.

Mary, thank you for the pictures. It's so great to see Smoky with Blue and the other girls. I wonder if she is behaving better now that there's a rooster to keep her in check? She was getting pretty mean to the Ameraucana sisters. And Smoky is so magnificent!!

Thank you for the update! If you are able to, some Olive Eggers would be beautiful with that Marans

Mary, they're beautiful together! The frizzle looks so adorable. Maybe one day you can show a pic of "Blue," your now Blue copper marans hen from me? I miss her terribly!

That's great. I might dabble into breeding as a hobby but I don't think I could sell the results as anything more than just backyard chickens. There's just so much about breeding I need to learn about not to mention space. My Marans pullet has a comb that is a little 'off' but her egg color...

Have you narrowed it down to 4 breeds? There are so many I'd like to try and see if I like them. Right now I have 4 breeds but I'd like more of the Ameraucanas and Marans. Not gonna happen anytime soon though . I guess what I meant to say was, are you going to breed many different breeds...

I have to put off all my dreams of owning many different kinds of Marans for now..until I get to live on acres of land I will have to make do by staring at other people's birds. I have had only one blue chicken so far but she is just so pretty, and whenever people post blues I always get ...

They are all beautiful but the blues are just gorgeous!!

Quote: Thank you for the explanation! I personally don't see birchens very often on this thread or maybe I haven't roamed through the almost 2000 pages enough

How can you tell if it's a blue birchen? Is it a blue birchen if it has no coppering? (How do we tell the difference between a blue copper that just has very little coppering and a blue birchen?) Thanks btw, she's a beauty and she reminds me of mine

I'm so happy, because it seems like my pullet's egg keeps getting darker. I'm excited to see her next one...it's as if she only wants to lay every other day but I don't expect her to be like my Red Star. When my pullet was younger her comb was very dark unlike her hatchmate's. But it got...

Very sorry for your loss

She is supposed to be a Blue Copper but I figured out that her likely dad did not have much coppering, so she looks like she is just blue. I was so surprised since she hasn't laid since the last day of August. It will be a big move but I like to think of it as a learning experience...if I think...

Quote: That is scary. We are planning on buying land in the western U.P. and we would have to worry about black bears and wolves...what with the wolf population going up, some people there are saying that they see wolves crossing streets and you could see black bears in the driveway off a...

People leaving their dogs to become someone else's problem! How irresponsible especially when other animals or people are hurt too.

I am so sorry! Any tracks or anything that gives you an idea of what it was? I hope that she makes it

BarnGoddess, I remembered your reply when I got this egg today, her second one: I don't know if it shows on the picture but this one is definitely 2x darker than the other one in reality.

Will it get darker or this is it? It is like a 4 to me but I don't have a real color chart. It's not that red in real life, my camera's awful. Do Blue Coppers usually lay lighter eggs?

My pullet laid her first egg today! And it is HUGE! It wasn't my Red Star because her eggs are not this dark, and it's not my Delaware because her eggs are a pearl color... Sorry if this is off-topic, I am just so excited!

Oh my, flgardengirl, your eggs are beautiful!! (every time you put pics up of them I )
