Raven, That's just my opinion, and I too, don't know anything about the rumpless gene. But seeing as it would more than likely be a disqualifying fault, I sure wouldn't want to introduce it into any line. The Marans gene pool is small enough, and Lordy knows has enough faults to overcome, why introduce one more? I would not, just me, use a brother of his either, as he may have not expressed this fault, but may be lying within. Again, who am I? but that's my personal thoughts on the matter.

Thank you Debbie that is just what I ask for I am new enough that I need to hear every thought you all have.

 

[Debbi]

Just one woman's opinion Raven, others may chime in here that I am totally off base. There are plenty of folks here on this thread and maybe elsewhere on BYC that would be glad to help you get a different roo.

I also have some pure Wade birds from Ruth so all is not lost

 

[Raven1]

I need to know if my Blue "pullet" is a Roo got to looking close and me thinks I see some mighty pointy neck feathers there

 

[Debbi]

There ya go!! I'd head in that direction!

Mr. Splash

Aside from the red fluff at his thighs, very nice!

Although your site shows a better pic of him (or is it another? - If so, I like the other one better. The other one has an amazing, deep, upright and broad body)
