    Quote: Thanks so much. That's very kind. I have NO idea what a blue copper should look like. I didn't actually order these. I ordered 5 Black Copper Marans and I got 3 BCM and 2 blues - luckily I ended up with a male and a female. I'm not sure what to do with them now. I guess I could...

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

    Quote: This time of year most hens are at the end of the laying cycle so the eggs have lightened up those eggs actually look really good to me and the birds look good to. You can't really expect to get 8s and 9s on the egg color chart I would guess those are probably a 6 if you said they were...

    Quote: Have I misunderstood this statement? Marans are renown for being fast maturing. Sorry I mis spoke my cockerals matured very quickly and became huge my pullets didn't lay untill at least 30 weeks of age. I was just thinking about how fast my birds reached POL.

    Quote: Rooster Cruiser The Marans Standard demands that the birds egg color be a 4 or better to even qualify as a member of the breed. You could have a hen that is perfect according to the standard in all other ways but if she doesn't lay a 4 on the color chart she isn't even a Marans! It...
