I'm sorry I forgot Rosie in my getting better wishes, especially as when I read she had COVID I thought that she really hasn't had luck this year with her health, between her accident and the viruses she caught.
It's not that easy to find good Marans here because many hens sold as Marans are actually hybrids. You would need to find a serious breeder, I wouldn't know how, apart from one affiliated to the Marans Club de France, and there are none in my region.
And, I know I'm a traitor to the chicken math cause, but I don't want more chickens. I'm fine with ten. However, I don't think my ex-batts will all make it to the summer so I will probably do a small hatch in spring. I'm partial to getting local backyard mutts, because I'm pretty sure they will be predator savy and adapted to our environment. If I end up deciding to try get some eggs from a breeder I would get either brown leghorns or, yes, Marans.
If I drive to Italy to "smuggle" hens (which I'm not sure is really smuggling as everyone here do it all the time), it won't be leghorns- they have so many interesting local breeds that don't make it outside the frontier. Like the “Mugellese” (or “Mugginese" ) that @Perris made me discover because she wondered if Chipie could be one.
Very nice!
