I live in Chico/Forest Ranch and have three Teenage Cuckoo Marans Roosters that need new homes if you could find some way to get one or two or three!
I do not know their lineage, although I know who the breeder that the farm store I bought them from is, and I could give you her website, she could tell you who her original lines are from??
I have Cuckoo Marans eggs, I was even thinking of putting a few in the incubator with the 40 araucana eggs I just purchased....If I have too many Araucana's hatch out, although I've heard it's difficult, I may need to rehome some of them too!
I am sorry for your disappointment with the other lady....Making arrangements for the show is still a good option, it's such a great event!
Feel free to get ahold of me, pm or post...
