The more blonde looking chick is a off colored salmon and the one next to it will most likely feather out to be a silver salmon rather then a gold. All my first generation silvers looked like that one.
The second picture is a golden although it too looks a little more buff in color in the...
With marans the longer they hold out normally the dark the eggs will be when they do lay. 7 months is not uncommon. Mine normally start getting mated on a week or 2 before they start laying. This is just something I have noticed. So if there is mating going on for a while then they are hiding...
Ok I have question that I have been thinking about. I know I just need hatch some and find out but still waiting for my hen to be at POL. On blue birchon roo over a blue birchon hen should they produce only blue birchon chicks or are they more like a BBS and produce blue, black and splash? Was...
Havn't really been on here all winter. Been busy getting things done around here. Still have several pens to seperate also. We rented some land right before winter for more cattle to be put on so it was a mad dash to get fenceing ready for them. Still allot of work to be done there to get ready...

I think I have 2 that may be silver salmon not golden salmon but from what I have read Silver is dominate over golden also. I have another picture of her also. I was leaning on the hen as silver but she is young and honestly dont know allot about this variety yet and not allot of...

I have a solid blue roo over back hens. The blue roo Im using know have some lightness in his hackles I dont like but I have a very pretty blue roo from same stock I plan to use also when he gets a little older, He is only 6 months know. Egg color not the best but in time I hope it will...

This looks more like a salmon - is it silver salmon perhaps?
If you are getting it out of another variety, you will have to cull any that come out with the Autosomal red and mahogany, etc for Silver Salmons and if they're gold too - you want a clearly salmon breast - she may have it...
I figured I would share some of the salmons I have growing out know. Some I hatched from my blue's and blacks that have this hidden gene other I just aquired from same breeder I got my most of my birds from.
This was as a chick posted when had no idea why I was getting these
And this...

black x black = 100% black.
black x blue = 50% black 50% blue.
blue x blue = 50% blue 25% black & 25% splash.
splash x blue= 50% blue 50% splash.
splash x black = 100% blue .
splash x splash = 100% splash.
Hope this helps!

All new marans Owners. I think deb hit is right on the nail. Even though some come across very ruff when they give opinions they do mean well. I am buy no means a expert on marans. I think we have all been in the same boat as every new person on here at on point in time. It is just lack of...
