I had given up hope...

... Of getting an egg before the spring.

Bur Marjorie did the business yesterday!
She made a lovely little nest in the nest box where it should be, and made me the MOST PERFECT little egg!!!!

Marjorie a Maran you should be very happy!

that is gorgeous - what breeder did you get that (marans?) from? It's such a matte brown, I haven't seen one quite like it before...

 

[BorderKelpie]

wow, pretty

Hey

I got her from a chap called Richard Baudains who lives just up the road from me.
Although he did manage to supply me with 6 different breeds in 6 birds, they were poorly, unhandled and a lot younger than he said they were.

So I obviously won't be getting any more from him!

But none of it matters any more since Marjorie Marans did her thing

pretty one, i am still waiting for eggs and think it may be spring for me....

 

[Fuffy]

Good luck with that! I hope it happens for you like it did for me!!!

Beautiful! Rather have a bird younger, rather than older than you think. That way, she will have the rest of her life with you.. Congratulations! I'd love to have some of those chocolate looking eggs in my basket. Have a marvelous Thanksgiving. Lynn
