I tried Gold Cuckoo and was rather disappointed. Eggs they hatched from where an ok color but the offspring was a dark tan and not brown at all. I have a Cottage Hill black copper hen that has blessed me with an amazing color. She is with my boy who is a cross of two different colors but blue...

Anyone have any ideas of what colors he could be crossed from? Obviously something blue but hackles and saddles are a silver/goldish not orange and he has some barring going on in them and has silver wing tips?? He has very nice feathered legs too. Definitely all marans just a mix of a couple...

There was a guy from KY that had awesome pure blacks last year. I don't know why but the name Prather pops in my head?? Hope you find some.

Quote: Hi HenThymes! Good to see ya popping in again, it's been a while. I am assuming that you are referring to Golden Cuckoo's.....yes they can be shown, I don't remember the class they are put in, something like AOV (All Other Varieties ), I know Snowbird or someone knows better than I...

Hi, popping in to ask a quick question of you marans experts. Can golds be shown? If so does anyone have a standard for them? TIA

Hello everyone. I just wanted to pop in and share my happy news. I am the proud mom to 9 new Black Marans chicks born yesterday. To boot they are French. They are out of beautiful dark eggs, can't wait to see them grow!

Hi everyone, me again with the jacked up cuckoo hatch from last Novembr. Wanted to share a picture of the brown chick that hatched. I have no idea what color he would be considered (he is a nice red/brown) but I really like him allot. I think he is going to very attractive when he is finished...

Hi All! Just popping in to let you know I have discovered to coolest thing about my young marans... They hate preditors and pest in their space!! I found them playing chase with a dead mouse the other day and have been watching them the past couple of days chase away wild birds. I think that is...

Quote: Ohh how beautiful Pink!! That is just picture perfect. Just popped in to say hi! Just watching my mix match crew grow a bit more every day, hoping they will just mature already. I know hurry up and wait. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Quote: Well, all I can do is hope that the girls at least lay nice eggs. Just my luck my orpingtons will be darker. Thank you everyone for the advise, it has been very helpful. I'm sure I will post more pics as they grown more.

Quote: So the ones with yellow legs, would they be considered marans (not to SOP) or barred rocks or mutt hybrids of the two? The pullet has yellow legs and their feathered...

Quote: Hi HenThymes! I am not sure what to say and don't want to say the wrong thing or mislead you so maybe we can get Geebs, VillageChicken, Wynette, Ms. Bev Davis, Snowbird, Walt and all the other greats that I know am I missing to come by and start up a discussion on them for us. It's...

I would love to see some pictures of good quality golds. I was really looking forward to having a couple of beautiful "golden girls" running around the yard.

Thank you for the advise, well noted and taken. The sad part is that you will probably start to see more flaws and see others soon asking these same questions and showing the same types of pictures again as I have seen auctions for eggs from this same group "Cuckoo/Gold Cuckoo" eggs. I will...

Quote: This is just my opinion and please take it at that. If you are breeding just for eggs and do not care what the off spring look like I would not worry about them. Now if you want to breed to the SOP even though there isn't one yet for these cuckoo I would not try and use these in a...

That is my thought's too. I am just learning about maran's but know enough to know they sure don't have bright yellow legs! And the brown one, yeah, definitely not cuckoo.. The only good thing about this learning experience is the I did not come out of pocket (thankfully) for them, it was an...

O.k. Pink - managed to go out and take a few pics of this mixed up bunch. Mind you these were suppose to be nothing but cuckoo/gold cuckoo eggs.... Group photo, the BC are hiding in the way back, never did any good pics of them but there is one toward the back of the pic Somehow I ended up...

Quote: Hi HenThymes! Good to see you again! Was wondering about your little chickies and how they were growing and yes you are right about needing new pictures. We need pictures of these birdies to help........ Hey Pink! I can try and get some pics, they are in the barn now and a bunch of...

Hi Marans peeps. It's me again with the jacked up cuckoo hatch from a couple of months ago. I have a couple of questions and yes I need to get some new pictures. There are a couple of interesting colors in the group. This group was also to have the possibility of gold cuckoos as well. One...

Quote: WOW they do look allot alike! He was suppose to be a she and was suppose to be from gold cuckoo's. I'm beginning to think something jumped the fence..
