Alrighty. From the beginning lol.

This is from our youngest batch of Marans. There were only a few, I think 3 pullets and 1 cockerel. I’ll have to check our notebooks and see. I love the look of these ones, they all have a great heavy weight. And they seem to be looking very nice so far...
I can single them all out and grab some pics for everyone.

This cockerel is also from that young batch of chicks.
They grow up so quick! I need to look and see how old these kiddos are. He is a bit skidish. For sure going to be a big boy.

Tails! Once you send a pic of a correct tail, I will hunt through and get you some pics of what I think match that. For now, I’ll see if any of these younger birds want to stand still for a photo shoot haha.

Here are a few updated pictures of Duke. His comb had started to lop slightly but all of the females I've penned him with all have upright combs.

he did do a lot growing for sure ,
big boy now ,love his long back and small tail .
body colour ,your hens going to fix that for sure ,your hens produced stunning copper type on the cockerels and pullets . rich red .

I think he is going to compliment what you have .

shame to hear about his comb . it is small ,I was not expecting it to go lop . normally happen to a larger combs .

guess he is there for his long wide back and gorgeous tail . body type too
