They are very cute, I'm hoping to get marans next time, do they lay very dark brown eggs?

Quote: We have one that I call an Olive Egger, but she's a bit of a mutt. There's a dash of Silkie in her, some Araucana, some Finnish Alho landrace, and her dad was a Black Copper-Cuckoo Marans mix I think. She usually lays slightly darker eggs, that one is her fourth after her broodiness and molt.

Here's what we're getting at the moment, the BCM hasn't come back online yet so no chocolate eggs.


Here's Töyhtis ("Tufty"). She's the black one, solo pic of her at the end.

Here's a pic of some Marans eggs we were going to hatch out, luckily the broody stopped being broody the same day we got them so the better half didn't have a chance to throw them under her. Not the best time of year to hatch chicks here in Finland. Good thing she didn't dig out the incubator.

*Edit* Hmm, the pic doesn't really do justice to the color.

Babies!! This little one is going to be the first out; a little bantam Pencilled Rock


You can see a couple have little teeny cracks in them. Hoping for fluffballs in the morning

Thank you, they are very dark, and look quite big too.

The one's behind them are about 45g, I haven't weighed the Maran eggs. Probably in the 70g range. I think Marans usually lay pretty nice sized eggs. The only one we have started in the 40g range at 19 weeks, laid for 5-6 weeks reaching about 50g, and then went broody for a month. I'm expecting her to stat laying again in a week or two, we'll see what size they are then.
