Very nice!! Great work! Now tell me all your secrets! lol

I say you got the hang of it - very nice color! Well done! You have the dark egg genetics now you just have to breed it forward. I wish you well. Keith

Sharing is quality . if we don t do it we become selfish .no good trait.

maybe someone should start breeding people? as I lived in 4 different countries I have noticed that there are too much bad genetics. nice people are about to be extinct.

I ll wait for a the new photo. nice one please .

Ah you are going to beat me in creating the Marneck. I ll be very happy to help you creating it . guess first come ,first serve .will be very interesting project .especially for the egg basket .

the true egg color will show up in the second generation F2 ( true one coming out F1 cross between them selves ) we will see in the F2 progeny a lot different colors ,from pure white to dark brown ,Pink too

yeah it is possible to get any egg color to breed true .

I ll explain it to you soon when I have time how you do it step by step how to breed a great Marneck with a lot eggs colors variation .

White marans are very nice and easy to work with if you are going to use Jupiter .

we need to know what based are this white chooks .ER or Ewh or some thing else ?

if you get them,we ll find out in the first year of breeding them .

White marans are very rare .

I have at least 25-30 Marans chicks now, with more in lockdown in the hatcher and even more in the cabinet incubator. Its a lot of Marans chicks for me considering its the most Marans chicks I've ever had at one given time. Looks like we will be eating a lot of chicken.

Well done .that how we do it .just go for it and hatch a good number of chicks because.genetic favors numbers .

I think now you have enough chicks to really see the reel genetic expression of you flock . Greater is the number wider will be the genetic expression .

eating marans chooks is great .I only eat my chooks nothing else .
I do a lot culling at 5 month and half or 6 month . best time to cull the marans chooks for they meat .
