Ms. Wynette! How are you? School is out now for winter break so I have a little time to catch up on BYC. Wish I had some Marans eggs to share photos of, but not. At least the mountain lion has not been back for over month now. Final head count for the lion was 1 goat, 1 goose, 1 cat and 14 chickens.

Hey gang...
Pink, how did your blue flock fair with the attack?

5 years of 100% blissful free ranging and we got hammered 3 times this summer. My genetic line of Blue Marans is dead. I have 3 blue Marans hens left. Lost 20 some birds, including a fine blue Marans pullet and last springs hatch..

Quote: I am not 100% sure but I think she has a couple of pullets/hens left. No Roosters. She is getting replacements ASAP. She does not pop in here often....

Looks like a black to me. Splash chicks are white and get the splashes later.
