If you read this thread from start to finish and pay close attention to @Chooks man posts, you will learn more about Marans than any book out there.

I have read the thread and re read constantly, it's just hard to locate things when you need to in the Te thread.

View attachment 1398704 View attachment 1398705 Im needing help! I'm still a "beginner" at chicken keeping. I incubated and hatched my first batch of eggs(shipped) in march(so they're 2 1/2 mo. Old) and ended up with these 2 BCM Roos. I know zip about breeding. I'm wanting to keep only one roo and rehome the other. So my question is, if I wanted to keep one of these guys for breeding purposes, which one should I keep?

the second looks like pullet to me.

I said the same thing but watch out it started a small war. We will just have to wait and see.

I can now see pointy feathers. it also seems that the beak is light colour and that would be a boy. sorry I am too tired and I cannot see well.

So, do you guys think he won't have very good coloring since he hasn't any color coming in yet, anywhere but his neck? Or can Roos be late bloomers and still end up being pretty adults??

yes they can be late bloomers.

Not a war, a friendly debate.
