    Quote: yup...not a black copper marans That's what I thought and it really saddens me that this person is going to use him for breeding. When I put my mind to doing something I do it to the best of my ability. True Marans breeders, meaning those that are working hard to perfect the standard...

    Quote: gvntofly05-that is a blue...just a darker shade. And, even though the legs look clean, now, you still may get some feathering on the legs as it matures. I had one like that. It was weird...no feathers for the first 6 weeks or so, then they started popping up sparsely. It never did...

    Quote: Hi Henry! Good to see you again...haven't seen you in a while. The marans you have pictured above are nice, but I just wanted to point out how straight up and down the tail is. In the APA standards, this is a fault as you want a rounded, loose "U" shape from the head around top of...

    Quote: That is crazy funny, and I have seen that face on a chick, more than once! Either saying "gross." or "wonder if that's food" or everyone in the back is looking at him like, "that chick is nasty" and the one in front is looking the other way whistling thinking, "Wasn't...

    Quote: ok...so let me get this straight. You are NOT getting your splash from breeding a white Marans Roo to blue (or blue copper) hens...? You are breeding a Marans HEN to a LEGHORN ROO?

    Quote: So the Splash will carry the genes too? I plan on keeping a Splash roo and the 3 pullets I got (2 splash, 1 blue) and going on from there, but this color will still be there even in the Splash right? Will the Blacks have copper in them too? I see that I have a lot to learn about this...

    Quote: Feathered legs is the easiest un-French standard thing to take care of in your breeding program IMHO. You will get clean and feathered...and again, you just have to keep breeding the feathered until the clean is gone. When I first started, I had a clean legged blue copper w/ a heavy...

    Quote: They look like white & splash to me! I can even see a little blue in the one closest to the window. They almost always feather out so much different than when they first hatch. Cute lil' fluffy butts! ~4kidZ
