    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    Hey Guys! I usually just follow the posts here once in awhile and stay quiet. I have a few FBC Marans in my flock and decided to pick up a couple more from someone who purchased eggs online and hatched them. These birds are a favorite of mine not just for the dark eggs, but also for the friendly...

    Good Morning Marans Peeps! After a less-than-stellar summer for egg production, I'm finally starting to get eggs again. The 2 darkest in the basket are from 1 of my marans pullets. She lays every other day so far. I took these out of the fridge just for the photo op. We'll seeif the newbies lay...

    I picked up a couple blue Marans and a Marans mutt today. The 2 blues don't lay very dark eggs and have eyes that are way too dark - not the orange color most of my others have. One has decent leg feathering, one doesn't. The 'mutt' Marans, also blue, has great leg feathering, a pea comb, and...

    This is one of the batch I got earlier this spring . . . I got her and her sibs a few weeks later . . . this is the pullet I plan on keeping. She has nice (possibly too much?) copper, good feathering. Won't know about body type until she's a bit older.

    Looks like my Light Brahmas minus the black necklace/tail . . . or a white leghorn/brahma cross? Were the eggs you hatched them from dark?

    One of my blue copper pullets who managed to break her wing this morning. I have no clue how!!! The chicks are all in a chicken tractor and there were no signs of anything trying to get in. The underside of her wing was bloody but it appeared to be from the others pecking at it. I think its...

    These are a few of the marans chicks (ages 2 months - 3 1/2 months) that I have. Black Coppers and Blue Coppers. A couple are starting to get really nice coppering around the hackle area. Most of the pullets have little or no copper yet. My oldest cockeral pictured here is getting beautiful...

    This is my girl Roberta - the only surviving BCM chick (out of 3) last October from a private breeder in my area . . . she was very well socialized to people and children and is very affectionate. She follows me everywhere and will pull on my shoelaces or peck at my boot to be picked up. She...

    Hi all - newer to Marans here. I just picked up 8 FBCM chicks from a gent who had to downsize. I want to tag them somehow so I can differentiate from my FBCM chicks purchased from someone else. Right now I can tell them apart because of the 1 weel age difference and the fact that some of the...
