Grow them!!
It's worth seeing how they turn out!!

*done enabling!*

more than likely they will get a two or three week reprieve until I go to the next sale. That should give me some time to get a good idea of what I might have to work with. Who knows what I'll end up doing. Sometimes I think I must be crazy

I was teasing, I hope you know that? How is your Dad doing?

haha yeah I know....Its not hard to be tempted by potential in birds....yarg!

My dad is ok, still have more complications cropping up here and there, but we're all surviving and taking everything a day at a time. We literally don't know what might happen the next day.

Birchen is silver and that is gold. Not sure what that is really, he could be pretty, but I don't know what you would breed him with.

Sorry the pics are deceiving, there is no gold, it would be more tan are silver- ish than anything

Hi, I am new to chickens and decided to start with some Marans. I have absolutely fallen in love with this breed. If I have any questions I know just where to come. Here are some pictures. I got them at 1-2 weeks...they grow up so fast.
