    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    Actually it might be more obvious than people want to admit. Does the rooster have straw hackles? Could be it's a Black Copper crossed with a Wheaten Marans somewhere along the line so no surprise at all. Quote:

    Nice cuckoos, just love their striped socks! Quote: They are about 13 weeks old, still have a lot of growing to do yet.

    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    Just to clarify my post I was not asking why the APA isn't calling Black Copper Marans Brown Red. It was posted for those that might look at the French site standards and not know they are the same. Quote:

    In case anyone missed it the APA discussion was revived the last few days over here. People seem to be perfectly happy with their mossy, cochin, straw hackled, black eyed birds they call Marans and if they have a breeder name attached that makes them even better, after all how can they not be...

    You get more of the same problems we are already dealing with having straw colored hackles showing up on Black Copper Marans roosters and mossiness in the hens. Unless the proposed APA standard is changed to allow straw hackles it is not something you want if you are breeding to the French...

    Hey dread do you weigh the eggs every day? Thought I saw a thread on this method but I can't seem to find it now. Anyone brilliant with spreadsheets able to make a master to plug in the days and weight to calculate target? I just started eggs about a week ago so I guess I can't play this...

    Very very nice Maybe remove the divider sections and cut a 30 egg crate to fit the tray? Don't know if it's possible or if it will even hold more eggs, just a thought. Strips of foam or sponge to keep the different sized eggs from moving to stuff in a couple more? Does the tray tilt...

    Hi, This is the second time in a few days I've noticed BC eggs shown with currency, does it help set the camera settings for more accurate color of the eggs? Quote:

    Nice! Do you think it will be easy to clean? Does the electronic top part come away from the rest of it? A smooth plastic surface has to be easier to clean than the styro baters. Good luck with your hatch! Quote:

    Quote: I really like the look of the rooster shown on that link. He has that bulky stately look that I like so much in my Langshans which are supposed to be in the BC heritage. Here is one of my young Langshans shown next to the French image BC. I've also noticed more bulk at a younger...

    I've gotten hatching eggs twice from wonder hen, they are huge! Sadly, I never hatched any chicks. Fertility did seem to be an issue since eggs were originally sold but after getting poor hatch rates from buyers they were offered at no charge requesting shipping only and then to pay for the...

    Someone posted images of two charts side by side on the Yahoo forum a while back. It looked like the newer Marans Chicken Club postcard egg shade numbers are a few shades darker than the earlier one and is closer to the French site chart and the one in Fancy Fowl magazine. Does a #8 egg on the...
