Here's a question for all of the Marans breeders out there. It seems everytime I give my hens Kefir which is a great probiotic made from milk-- a few of them or even more start laying chalky colored eggs. One was almost purple and these are not the normal color of their typical eggs. It takes...

Quote: Hi and WELCOME! Number of eggs is not suppose to differ greatly between these 2 breeds, but I can tell you that my Marans are better layers than my Wellies. Egg size isn't too different...fact I think that my Wellies lay larger eggs than most of my Marans. Marans are WAAAAYYYYY...

I went out and moved out all the dark eyed girls tonight. The are still non laying pullets and their eyes are a light brown, not dark. I cannot remember if the lighten up anymore or not. Does anyone have an answer to that question. And one more question, one of the pullets who looks like she is...

He's a looker Mountaintop! Very nice Roo and to Wynette: My eggs from you are superb...wonderful...and just WOW! Shall I go on? Thank you Wynette

I think the girl is lovely also -- but her eyes look very dark to me. Are they? And if so how many of you still breed the hens that have dark eyes and would you use an over red roo on her? I have a few hens with very nice coloring and body type but have dark eyes. They lay a very nice color egg...

Hi Pink!! Going to do the birds before it gets hotter out there.

In the hatching eggs, 2 days from now are splash Marans eggs for sale snowbird Quote: Kim, In breeding the show poultry I just never believe in taking a step backward when it is not necessary. The genetic formulas only tell you what color you should get from breeding two chickens, there is no...

Quote: Sea, what you are seeing is copper leakage there. Kind of redundant to call them "blue splash", it's a given that the splash color comes from blue. There must've been a Blue Copper in one of his parents. I didn't know that, thank you. I like the phrase "Ugly tude" It sums it up very...

Quote: Lovely. Did you buy from eggs and hatch or did you buy chicks. I am curious what color egg they came from. I don't see many splash. The boy has a nice tail set, feathering, comb. His chest is a bit shallow but time will tell on the final size and he is still young. I like him! -...

Quote: I love the last boy geebs, he has a beautiful chest and back. Nice stance. The big girl- Starbuck- she's a beauty.

Quote: Depending on the size and age of the chicks. Right after hatch I just set a small waterer on paper towel. After a day or so I use 12x12" pavers. I set one down on the shavings and put the waterer on that. At about a week or when they are starting to stir things up alot-- I add another...

Quote: Do you have an opinion about where to buy these vaccines? The cheapest and best place to buy everything except the LT is Jeffers livestock. I buy the LT from first state. I normally have Pete bring it to a show I am attending. Don Hi Don, Are the vaccines for the above injectables...

Pink those are some nice eggs! How are everybodys hens doing at laying lately. I am getting almost nothing and can't figure out why. Change of weather or due to worming them? But almost no one is laying... I have a bunch of BCM's in the incubator and out of 8 candled I had 8 fertile. The...
