ok i posted pics of our marans rooster a while back and most said he was mixed with most likely wheaten. i have hatched several chicks from him and most were black when hatched (the one cockerel i have now has way to much red like his dad) but then one just hatched out about 10 mins ago and looks like this (don't mind the 2 bantams in the back). does this look like it's a wheaten color? i will post another once the chick is dried off more. i do know this does means our black coppers are mixed. so with that does anyone have some nice dark pure marans eggs for sale and if so can you please send pics of what the eggs look like and your stock thank you. (this one hatched out of a nice dark egg). i keep hatching out odd chicks that look nothing like they are supposed to 
(french variety with feathers on shanks)
here's the chick after it dried off.
i will be adding pics of the parents (3 hens and a rooster) as soon as i can and the pic of one of the babies i still have from hatching and i do have another marans egg waiting to hatch out and will post pics of that one after it hatches. i'm not selling due to a few problems on the rooster and the hens (mainly with the combs and legs)
