    Wheaten and Blue wheaten Marans Discussion Thread

    Hi friend!!!! I decided after our dialogues on wheatens I needed to get over here and quit "lurking" in here and tackle that SOP. You know I can read SOP's all the time and I do, but until I see the picture or even the drawing of a "nearly Perfect" hen/roo, I have a hard time visualizing...

    Illia, I'm about to sign off as we are under tornado warning, but quickly I have only the darkest colored egg layers in with my best roosters and my egg layers that don't lay deep enough colors are just in an eating egg pin.

    Wheaten and Blue wheaten Marans Discussion Thread

    It's true...One thing I've realized is that the older the Marans (including wheaten) the deeper the egg color....I wonder why? They also continue to grow until they are three years old, so maybe the "paint" device gets stronger? Love all my marans.....If ever you need some new blood in yours...

    Quote: I am in Colorado. I have searched for someone here but have had no luck at least on the Wheatens. I searched for someone with the Black and Blue Copper and found a lady just a few miles up the hwy in Falcon. She posts on Craigslist all the time but will never respond. I have sent...
