I can't wait for their dark brown eggs!!! That's the whole reason I got them. Seen them at Tractor Supply for only $5.00 each and normally a Black Copper Maran is between $10 - $15. They are almost 4 months old so it should be pretty soon!!

She is very pretty.
I know your super busy hatching but when you can, could you explain the early feathering type you are talking about?
This is what we want to breed towards?
How do we tell the difference between early feathering and slow feathering types?
