Hi

I think you can tell that these birds aren't from my line. I know Paul had two lines of Marans but don't know at what point he stopped setting eggs from the one line.

geebsie - both your roo and hen appear to have the exact same eye color to me. Could be my monitor, but it's fairly new. Anyone else? To ME, "bay" is dark, blood red (but I have horses, too, and that's what "bay" for a horse is described as.)

From Wikipedia:

Bay is a hair coat color of horses, characterized by a reddish brown body color with a black mane, tail, ear edges, and lower legs. Bay is one of the most common coat colors in many horse breeds.​

WOW!!! Pinkchick... you okay!! OUCH... Are those ones you ordered from Paul????

Hey... this is great... Bev can look at them and say... YEP those are mine and NOPE.... they are not mine.... How cool is that!!!!!

Thanks Bev!!!

This is supposed to be one of yours from Cree... She is gorgeous... I don't breed her but she is my "eye candy"... She doesn't have feathered legs so I did wonder...

Other than that I think this splash hen is spectacular... what do you think Bev???

 

[pinkchick]

I'm good and YES it is very good that Bev can do that. She is the bestest ever. Yes these are some of the babies I got from Paul. On the phone right now with GFF.
