Seeing you are from AK.. It got me thinking. How do Marans hold up in the cold. Mine seem to be taking the heat 85* well.. Ameraucana and EE's panting with wings out, but the Marans are fine. I am concerned about the combs in my cold winters though.
ON

Sounds like you just have a young roo - -- and he is acting like a child who is afraid . . . He will stop it. My roo did it the first time he was placed on the roost - - He was used to sleeping on a flat surface and did not know how to handle the roost.

Marans take that 85 OK, but when the temps get over 90 - - - my marans slack off on the laying. They pant as much as my leghorns and EE's pant.
