French Blue Marans??? updated with pics :)

[AHappychick]

I got 2 pullets as extras when I got my French BCM I believe they are blue Marans with the same featherd feet. Do I have to breed them seperately and get a blue roo or can I breed them to the Black copper Marans and still get some? or should I sell them since I was never planning on them. my mind is mush today and I cant make any decisions it seems.

Pack them in a box and send them to me!

I will love them and turn them into lap chickens!

depending on what I can do with them I may put them up here for auction

I still have aver $800 in vet bills from my EE I tried to save and a few other chicken visits so I could use the money

If you cross them to one of your BCM Cockerels you will end up with
50% blue CM and 50% black CM. They can be a little harder to find so if you need money...you'll probably get it (o:
Did you get then from Cree Farms, too? Did she send chicks or did you hatch the eggs b/c you seem like you had a great experience either way.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions, they could be a lot of breeds other than Marans.
But , why not ask the person you bought them from?
Why not let them grow up and then see what they are?

these 2 arent from Cree they are from Lee and Ginny. They did say they were blue Marans and they are about 5 weeks or so so I am pretty sure they are. Got beautiful birds from them. If I can breed them with the BCM I will probably keep them

COOL!!!

I bought 2 batches of Marans, some from cree and some from Lee and Ginny.

You can breed any chick to any other chicken,they don't care!! LOL
More importantly are the solid Blues or Blue Coppers?

ok after looking more losely I think they are French Blue Copper Marans looks like it is a pair, now that I dont think I have 2 pullets I may sell the pair in an auction since I will not be able to keep another roo. Maybe I will try to sell the roo first lol here are some pics
