    Quote: Ive thought about doing that myself. Either with the BCM or the Welsummers. I know alot of people cant stand the speckled ones, but I LOVE them!! I currently have one BCM hen that lays a dark egg and every other one has lots of speckles around the middle area. Right now I have Wellies...

    Couple of questions.. 1) I currently use a MagLite flashlight to candle my eggs. It doesnt really work that well with my marans eggs though. So I need to buy one that does. What does everyone else use on their marans eggs that you can actually see something in the egg? I would prefer something...

    Quote: I may be a little late, but to me it looks like two boys and a girl. The one one the far left looks like the female to me. The other two have larger redder combs. But the one on the far left has a lighter and smaller comb.

    Quote: I think your roo has a very nice profile-very pleasing body shape, comb and tail, and his hackle and saddle feathers are a nice shade of copper. If you breed him look for cockerels that have his good characteristics, but with less red on the breast. I hope others with more knowledge...

    Here are a few pictures of my BC Marans rooster. He was one of two, but sadly a hawk killed the other one. And of course it had to get the one that was the better of the two. This one has way to much orangy yellow coloring. I havent really been able to get good profile pictures yet. Its been so...

    Okay Im curious about something..

But their is a friend who swears up and down that I am saying it wrong and that its.. Ma-ran 's. As if you ran somewhere. But this is also the same person...

    I bought some BCM eggs from Nancy(bargin) and they were a nice dark color. I also got 3 Welsummer eggs and one of them was just a dark as the BCM eggs. I was really impressed. I cant wait for them to hatch.

    This is my golden cuckoo I hatched from Melissa. I thought I sexed them at birth and keep the two pullets, but Im second guessing myself now. They hatched Feb 19th, so they're about 9 weeks old right now. Does this look like a girl or boy to you?
