I'm not going to have pure wheaten marans next year, but I might end up with some that look like wheatens out of my black tailed buff marans project pen. 2013 will be my first year with black tailed buffs so I don't know exactly what the genetic makeup of my starter birds is yet.
Yeah, the other chickens probably complain about her behind her back. LOLThis reminded me...speaking of carbs...my GSL jumped up and grabbed a snickers bar (the last 1/4 or so) from my hand and took off like lightning. Gobbled it down, I sure hope the chocolate won't make her sick! This was the beginning of the week, she has been fine so far. Wonder if her eggs will taste like chocolate....stinker....She eats everything, and is such a bossy pig about it. The pumpkin we threw in from the garden today...she stood on top of it and yelled at everybody to get away. We had to break it into a bunch of pieces, then she was running from piece to piece yelling at the others. She is pretty funny to watch. Probably not so fun to hang out with if you are a chicken though lol
LOL, That's what I was thinking... chickens are funny, that's for sure!!
Lighter than the other one, but olive still. Yay! Yours better do it asap!
The color is awesome on Carlie's. And Sonny's are really big for first eggs. She has laid two now and I was really happy with how big, already the size of Carlie's. They are weighing right at 50g right now, nearing large size to put in my selling eggs 
I think Carlie is going broody though, she is slowing down and sitting in the nest pretty ambitiously the last few days :/ My White rock just stopped, and she took her place!
Is Carlie a 2nd generation pea comb or a first generation? Her eggs are really dark! Sonny's are what I'm used to seeing in a first generation. Yes, those OE girls do like to go broody.
She is the one with copper, with the Wheaten Am. Mom
