Oh well already offered him some more $$$ I can reverse it on him after though. I emailed him at his ebay email is their another one to contact him at?

Here is a copy of the email I sent?

Hello,
I am interested in a few of your Marans hens and possibly a rooster to add to my breeding program.I am located in Baltimore so I would be able to pick up the birds. What would the price be on these? I was wondering if you knew if the slight copper lacing on the breast was normal for Black Copper Marans Hens? Also I was wondering where your eggs usually fall on the french egg color scale? Do your birds have feathers legs? What breeder did you get your stock from? What color on the french egg scale were these eggs? Why are you selling your stock.

I am very interested in adding your flocks blood to my flock of Wade Geane Blue and Black coppers! I am willing to pay quite a large sum if I am satisfied by the answers to my questions $200. Sorry I asked so many questions but you have to be careful now about who you buy your stock from.


Here is the egg color Chart http://marans-club.chez-alice.fr/echllang.htm#echelle

Thank you,

I would be cautious about that auction(or any straight run auction that is that *costly*). My bc are easily sexed way before this age. The last person(on BYC) that got "straight run bc marans chicks" that were a little older got all roos

. I am not saying this is the same seller etc, but I would ask if at least 2 are pullets, JMHO. My chicks that came from Davis birds were showing roo combs at a week old, of course out of the 3 older ones I have all 3 are roos, combs were bigger than the cuckoo marans roos that hatched days earlier. My last 3 aren't quite a week old so I am hoping for at least 2 pullets

Good luck

Oh I forgot this fact about them I sexed my Marans at 2 weeks so I don't know about that auction I am not looking at them just wondering if it was ddean.

I just wanted to throw this heads-up, that's all

I personally would want to see a pic of the actual chicks, I think they would be easily sexed........
