Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

[ladycat]

I'm thinking (hoping) that post wasn't directed at you. There are some people out there who raise and sell Marans (and many other breeds for that matter) that know very little about them but claim to and this (unlike what you did) is wrong. I can't count the number of instances I've heard of where someone was sold ans "Amerakinda" - foe Ameracauna ie Easter Egger.

Sometimes I have to sit on my hands to avoid an argument.

On a Facebook poultry group, a lady had pics of what were clearly Easter Eggers. She was selling them as Americanas (or however she spelled it wrong), and said you can tell they're true americanas because they have beards. Only the true ones have beards.

I know what you mean.

I have no problem with people that breed out side SOP guidlines, but so many people are selling birds that are not what they say they are.

I've seen a lot of pics of purple coops on Facebook. Not sure why that's a popular coop color.

My Marans boys would spur me if I painted their coop purple.

You should see the silkie coop, seafoam green with bubblegum pink shutters

There is also a yellow one, barn red, and a beige and sage green duplex...
One of my customers said it looks like Miami Beach

edit: She enjoys it as much as I do, so it's turned into a great way for us to have fun together. I can handle a few pastels for that

Excuse the shabby looking fence. The first pictures I posted were of the new rennovation underway

I recently painted a coop purple, but that was only because it was the only paint I had on hand.
