Black Tailed Buff Marans Eggs - Wanted

[Crockett]

I am trying to find Black Tailed Buff Marans eggs or Chicks. Any ideas?

Are you sure you do not mean Wheaten Marans? If so I think The Farmers Wife has them.

No - Mean Black Tailed Buff Marans.

black tailed buff does not exist in the US I am not even sure if that is a color in the UK were Marans or from but if it is I am actually fairly certain that herechickchick is correct they are the same a wheaten Marans here in the US

There is such a creature as the Black-tailed Buff.

Also, Marans are not from the UK.

There are a few people working on this color variety, but I'm not aware of anyone actively selling them yet. A few BTB Marans were shown earlier this year at a show in Marietta, GA, I believe. There is a proposed color standard for them posted on the Marans Chicken Club's website, and a discussion of the color genetics that creates them is online somewhere.

Good luck finding these. Its exciting to get involved with a new breed. You should join one of the marans clubs. They have some yahoo chat groups you can search for. But wear a helmet and safty gear when you go there... those people are brutal !!! I got beat up on my first post!!! and quickly unjoined. (whew and I thought show dog people were bad) But if there are black tailed buffs available you will find them there.

Henry, how are you, dear? How is school? Have you posted somewhere about it?

Edited to add: Sorry for going off topic!

Peachick, boy am I sorry you got slammed. I so hesitate to post much on any breeder site as a newer breeder! People sure have strong feelings. I just looked at your website and your birds are beautiful. I held a sebbie baby last week and boy was he just precious and so soft.

Good luck finding your elusive colored Marans, OP!

Thanks Jenifer.

Sebbie babies are so precious. I have hatched a great variety of birds, but there is nothing as special as a baby goose.

As for the marans groups. OMG! I lurked for a few months. Then somone asked opinions on a specific breeder. My birds came from that breeder so I offered my opinion. Then some grumpy old fart starts yelling at me because I am not supposed to be promoting any one breeder because it is hurtful to the rest of the breeders..............what??!
several people jumped in and defended me, but it was too late..... I was outta there!!

Sorry, back on topic. Id like to see photos of black tailed buff marans... and what breeds were used to develop them??
