That information helps , thanks . Since I don't have any other Marans I will hatch more with the next broody and next year I will breed the darkest egg laying hens back to the father ,good thing that the original pair is not related.
I know the BBS genetics , just never have seen a splash upclose and googling splash marans returned images with,well more blue splashes on them, so I needed a conformation , thanks :) .
Hi all,
I have a Marans pair a 2 years old black copper rooster, and a hen I hatched from shiped eggs last year , i set 6 eggs under a broody bantam and these 5 hatched
Sorry for the poop :rolleyes: anyway they all look blue to me even the darker one in the front .
So this is the father
And...
