looking for black copper maran eggs

[ddeans]

I don't think that anyone accused him of anything. He has beautiful chickens, and if I win the auction I will pay for them and take them. If not, I intend to get on his waiting list that he has started for next year. I was just a little concerned that I would be stuck with all roos especially since he wouldn't show a pic. Wha He is right though, buying as straight run is a chance you take. Rather from him or a large hatchery, there is that chance of 100 percent roos.

I cant believe how high those chicks are selling for, though! Wow!

How do you ship chicks in the winter time without have chicksicles?? There are only six in that auction. Will they stay warm?

Does anyone have a different non Ebay email for the original faux marans auction? I have not had a response and I would like see what he has to say for himself

I just have his e-bay e-mail...that's all he gives that I know of. Anyhow, here's the last message I got from him at the end of last week:

Hi All,

I’m selling all of my Black Copper Maran’s as I’m moving out of state. These chickens were hatched on June 24th and are 5 months+ old. Some hens are already laying and some will be laying in couple of weeks. For pictures and prices, see the link below,

Please also check the prices of their eggs on eBay. They can pay back for themselves with just 2-3 dozen eggs. I cannot ship and they are for pick-up only starting end of december.

I was just saying buyer beware...
In the breed section, under the marans thread on page 63 KellyHM bought 7 straight run 6 week old bc, all look like roos, off of eggbid. The pic is no longer there but everyone agreed. I am not saying it is the same person, just have to be careful.
I am new to marans, but have been able to accutately sex them about 95%+ by 2 weeks, and about 80% at just over a week.

Those are light eggs. Both my Wheatens and Black Coppers lay an almost chocolate egg. I also have Silver Wheatens.

I sold my Cuckoo's because the egg color. About the color in the picture.

I am so excited, I just had to share. My Black Coppers JUST started laying this week--but although the eggs were dark, I was disappointed with the color. As careful as I had been, I expected much better! THEN today! Woohoo! I got an egg--even the right size (the first eggs were small) and it was GORGEOUS. I had to do a dance right there in the coop! I am so happy! Yay for me and my girls!

I have had four eggs this week.
