thank you, its my Brabanter. I swear they had to cross it with doves to get this breed. It has the biggest eyes. They are super sweet too. I have two of them.
If I were ever to get into breeding to improve anything, this would be the breed.

Is that a Barnvelder in the picture with the Marans? Mine look so completely different but this is my first time to have them.
Yes that last picture is the barnevelder
Finally I have a Marans! She is a cute little BCM about 3 months old. We have had her a bit, but finally got some pictures. Instead of 2 marans, we got a marans and a barnevelder.

Well, I'm not exactly next door, but I do have one hen (about 15 months), and one pullet (5+ months) that I'd be willing to give you in exchange for a 50# sack of feed. These are NOT to be used as breeders, as they both have carnation combs, a disqualifying issue within the breed. But...
Its not looking like I am ever gonna get chocalate eggs. The "pullets" we got are really roos according to here and noone in my area will sale marans pullets without roos mixed in. We cant do eggs because we dont have an incubator and just want two pullets. The lady that sold us the "pullets"...
Ok, so we got two marans. I was told they are both pullets. I know nothing about this breed. I am not breeding or showing, so it doesnt matter if they are standard to me lol, I just want me some chocolate eggs BUT I do want to know if they are really pullets. One has a good comband wattles for...

babyrnlc ~ Welcome to the Marans thread! There should be someone in here from OK, but right now, I can't think of anyone. Try placing a Want to Buy listing in that section of BYC. Or, check your local Craig's List, they show up there a lot around here. Are you looking for birds that...
I have a question for you Marans guys. My mother and I are adding to our flock. We share a property. We do not have a rooster and do not want one, so we will not be breeding. We have a variety of chicken colors and egg colors. We are wanting a few dark egg layers. My first thought were Marans...
