The male looks wheaten, Im not sure about the female, maybe splash. She's not splash wheaten. The more I look, the more she looks like she has some columbian going on there. Maybe be a mix of some sort.

I know what you mean!

Absolutely do it. Ive already been doing that, for the most part. Actually I have meeting places where I sell chickens or eggs, since I really dont want people coming to my home who I dont know. The meeting place is 10 mins from my house, and 99 times out of 100, the people meeting me are...

Ah, ok.

Is it solid brown?

I thought with the wheaten roosters, the primaries are supposed to be brown, which distinguishes them from the black coppers. I dont see much brown if any in the primaries of these particular roosters.

Well, you forced to go go out and round up my wheaten Marans rooster and he also has white wing feathers.

Upload pictures right from your own personal computer, you dont need an url anymore.

I went out and took a few pics of the few wheatens that I have....lousy pictures, but it is what it is. First pictures are of my rooster, he's not perfect, but he's all I have right now. I will add it seems very difficult to find really good wheatens. I dont know why more people arent...

I have found that the darker wheatens actually come from black copper/wheaten cross. The lighter buff should be the correct color. Check back for Randy's pictures, he's got some beauties.

I might have been looking at the feathers. When they come home this evening, Ill grab one and see if I can see what color the lobes are; I might have been wrong.

Quote: My girls have white ear lobes, and my roo has red.

I will confess, I do a lot of mixing up of my Marans. Worst case scenario, Ill end up with layers to sell eating eggs, which I cant keep up with the demand anyway. I have 4 gorgeous wheaten marans hens that I hatched from Katy, none of which are laying at the moment, but I have cuckoos...

Makes sense to me, too. thanks Walt.

I guess what I dont understand about the white fluff, especially in a breed/color that isnt yet in the SOP, is why is it a fault if its a part of the breed? Isnt the SOP supposed to describe what the perfect bird looks like? Not what a supposed not-yet-achieved bird looks like, but what the...
