So nice to see all the new folks joining the Marans thread!!!!! WELCOME!!

Hello right back atcha Wynette!


MaranMan~ There are breeders of Cuckoo's here in this thread and I am sure they will come around before too long and I must say that there is also a Cuckoo and White Marans thread if you didn't see it and you might just run into some of them there as well as here. Lots of very pretty Cuckoo Marans running around BYC.

He is a nice little roo so far. He has a good tail angle. I think he needs more time before judging him. He looks a little on the dark side now but many Marans roos do lighten up quite a bit especially in the hackles. I can't really see his head and comb or front of his chest very well from the pic angle but from what I can see, I'd keep him for awhile. It seems like it is harder to get a good roo than a good hen so sometimes we have to work with what we have in the roo department.

Cute little girl too

I thought some of you might be interested in this. I personally had a small laugh because they say all the roos WILL be show quality. We all know how difficult that is to attain

Kathyinmo, that is a lovely lady you have! This may sound silly but I love her tail

and her colors

Here is the link to the "parent club" representing the Marans in this country with the APA. Yes, the Black Coppers were admitted to the APA back in April or May. Wheatens are next up for approval in October. http://www.maransusa.org/
The MCCU is developing another site, but it's still in the works.

That is rather comical! Notice they didn't post any pics?? Sure would love to see all those "show quality" roos in one place!

Couldn't resist. Wrote and asked for pics. Who knows, I may be sprinting to St. Louis!

I only have the golden cuckoos not the silver. I have 2 girls and 2 boys. I got mine from pasofinofarms (Melissa) in Houston, TX. Not sure if she still is selling eggs or not. Her website is nonesuchfarm. She has pics of her birds on there.

I don't mind that they state that the BCM's will be show quality....who knows maybe they have very nice stock and they know it, but my favorite part of the posting was all the keywords at the bottom. I'm going to have to start increasing my keywords when I post on CL.
