As requested here are some photos of the little ones. I have to say these 4 are the most docile chicks Ive had. They love my hand and crawl and hop over it, crawl under it, eat from it. They are funny!

Very cute. VIVI

Here are a couple of pullets

Everyone take note of the width of the pullet in the rear. This is what you use when trying to set the type and body structure. Very nice.

Good morning, fellow Marans enthusiasts!

As some of you know, over on the Black Copper thread, we'd been discussing the possibility of videotaping a Marans judging demonstation at an upcoming show in California, and then posting it here on BYC; we've been given permission by Walt Leonard, APA judge and head of the standards committee to post the video, and I believe he will be the judge doing the demonstration. Pete Ovalle, member and district director of the Marans Chicken Club, will be doing the actual taping and providing us with the video for posting.

I'm super excited about this, and I think it will be a most helpful tool for us all! Details coming as arrangements are made!!

Woooo HOoooooo
This is a great help for us!
Can't wait.
