Well, she may well be a muttthe guy I bought her from said she was "some breed" but he had forgotten what she was. Definitely not a maran then, because of the leg color (which is yellow). I would add that she appear to me more read in the pictures. In real life she is quite light...
Well, reading more about it and with your response, I think that wheaten maran is a very good guessI think that is what I will call her! Her eggs are definitely darker than store bought, and probably the darkest of any hen I have had. I was unfamiliar with that breed, but they seem like a nice...
I was not familiar with that breed. The eggs are not that super darklike what is shown on the wikipedia page. The coloration and shape look similar...
Bad news: a dog got 5 of my best layers.
Good news: I used this as an opportunity to get rid of a bunch of old, barely producing hens and to renew my flock with some young pullets and young hens.
One of the hens I got is pretty and lays a very dark brown egg. Any idea what this breed is?
