Funny! I've given away birds or sold them in haste as well and really can kick myself sometimes..

congrats! I love the blue copper, I have one girl from lotsapaints Denny and she lays a gorgeous egg and is a real sweet pest in the yard!

thanks Kim I guess they really are Self Blue - but since most peeps don't know what that means, I'm choosing to call them Lavenders. I'm really impressed with the feather quality so far. Can't wait to see them grown!

So sorry for your loss Seabreeze, hope you can find some joy in your chickens today

Is there anyone else on this thread that as lavender marans as well, I'd love to compare notes. These are F3's so I've got a bit of work to do on them still

What are these new marans in my breeding pens???

Happy day!

Hey Kim good morning! and congrats on the babies!!

Morning all - haven't been on this thread for a while but just got in a young flock of Lavender Marans. I'll try to take pictures today but this is just a quick one I got before they went in to the pen. And this is the egg color in the flock. The creator is Bruce Hambrick and I feel so...

THANKS, I'm actually removing most of the gravel, it's nice soft sand/dirt underneath. i vote for a sand/dirt/DE mixture in your runs, they need to be able to dust themselves.

We drilled holes in the 2' x 4's and banged rebar into the ground. Worked really well and much cheaper than the metal stakes

Ah thanks for missing me! Yes the house is all brand new remodeled after the city flooded it with sewage. We were out for 6 months but it's gorgeous now! and on their dime.... Been working really hard on my flocks...in addition to what is on the website, I'm getting show quality speckled...

No because of breeding pen restraints I wasn't able to keep them, but I'm very interested in adding a marans to my new facility. I have 10 pens now, with a few that are empty...OH NO an empty pen...heaven forbid! I'm thinking french golden cuckoos, blue coppers or Golden Salmon, I've just...

Morning all! I've built new breeding pens and have a couple of empty pens... Oh dear my chicken karma tells me to fill 'em up!! I'm drawn to golden cuckoo marans or blue coppers. Can someone on this thread direct me to the best stock?

OH man huge cuteness!

Quote: You're a nut, shipping joke went over my head, BUT Yes please someone ship me one!

what about Caprica, Leonis, Libris, Piscera, Orion, Aeries, Aquerus and Gemoni

Well it's been a crazy year so far, with having our house flooded with sewage and being told by the city that I can't have roosters. Those are just a few highlights of my very fun life! At any rate, I've found a wonderful local ranch where I can do my breeding and I have 3 wheaten marans...
