Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

Several more hatched over night and they are all black. I emailed the breeder. I saved up for months to get the whites, and I want the whites now, not in 6 months when I can save up money again.

The breeder should absolutely make it right, and right now. You'll be a month behind (incubation/mailing time) is all. Make sure the parents are BOTH white if you didn't get photos before. Sorry this happened. It's frustrating.

Here's the final results (I put them in the bucket I used to carry shavings in so I could get a good pic).

2 Cuckoo
3 that are presumably Black Coppers
1 that I HOPE is white and not wheaton, I'll know for sure when it sprouts it's wings.

I'm not complaining about 6 chicks out of 18 eggs, I am well aware that shipped eggs often hatch poorly. So no blame to the breeder there, the eggs were packed well.

I emailed the breeder a couple days ago and no reply. This is a very reputable breeder who is placing well in the shows. It's possible she was out of town or something and didn't see my email yet. But if I don't hear today, I'll email again.

The eggs were marked with codes on the ends (not variety names, just mysterious strings of letters and numbers). I will take a picture of the hatched and unhatched eggs showing the codes so she will know what she sent me.

 
I got some recent pictures he is 3 1/2 months in the pictures

I bought this roo from carriebain. He is hatched from eggs from Dmrippy. His name? Bleu, duh. He is such a nice guy. picture here with my kiddo at 16 weeks. he is in a growout pen with a hatchmate BCM pullet and a gorgeous BLRW pullet that is 2 weeks younger. Bleu is IN LOVE with CLeo, our little BLRW but who could blame him. She is a stunner

Cleopatra (Cleo) 14 week old BLRW pullet


Veronica BCM 16 week old pullet from dmrippy
