are marans prone to broodiness? I had a bcm go broody and I kept tossing her out of the box, but she always
boomeranged right back into it, after a week or so, I bought her some fertile eggs, 14 .. . .she hatched out 10
chicks. . . 1 wasn't fertile, 1 stopped developing, 1 somehow got crushed and the other one just died hatching.
She's not even a year old, so I didn't expect her to see it through, but not only did she hatch them, she's been
an exceptional mother. Do marans usually stay hardcore broody?

I gave most of the chicks away, but kept the one blue marans and my daughter kept one buff polish (it was a
mixed bag of fertile eggs)

I have hens that were a year old last Dec that have never been broody; guess it might depend on the line

Not a dumb question but you have to wait till someone with pics can reply to you, but you could always google for images or there is a option on the threads now to view just the pictures.

I don't remember what she had.... i do remember I tried a couple of different times and couldn't get anything from her. I don't have EVERY color Marans (Contrary to public opinion LOL) come in and you could visit the Marans Club for more info on each variety.

Current Blue Copper



Cuckoo Marans



Blue Copper Marans Pullet



Birchen Marans



Splash Cuckoo Marans



Black Copper (I don't have him anymore)




Blue Copper



Splash Copper


Black Copper


A Blue or Black Marans would just not have any color other than black or blue. They are RARE and hard to find without gold leaking.

I don't have wheaten Marans but there is a thread or the clubs. I think there are a couple of other colors floating around.... Blue Birchen, Blue Wheaten, Salmon, Silvers, Lavender, Lavender Coppers. maybe something else.
