Think I should hold on to the original 4, until the new ones grow up??

no problem....most of it depends on your commitment level and what you want to grow and whether or not you are wanting to grow the garden from seeds. if you are wanting to start from seeds, then you'll need to decide what plants you definitely want, what you want from the garden (like canning, tons of peppers or etc) and how big your growing space is. that will help you plan within your confines.

how old are the young ones? i wish i could just come over and help you sort thru them. if it were me, since you have way better stock comin....i would grow the boys to dressing weight...won't take long and process them and hold onto the girls just to seewhat they do. if they dont look fantastic, id sell them as layers and just hold onto the original 4. i think once you get the better stock you'll see how drastically different they are. the other bonus is, that you won't be feeding extras and save expense and space for the better stock. does that make sense?

There is a section for recipes, that I'd forgotten all about! Maybe one of you could start a thread for the recipes we talked about here, like: "The Marans Clan Recipes"??

Have you noticed we pretty much ran off all the men?? Hey guys, where did you all go??
