I am not that good............... I need to see all of him. My Wheaten & BCM roosters are in pens right next to each other & I stand & study the differences between the 2. I can certainly see why a person not really looking would easily mistake one for the other. My Wheaten isn't nearly as big as my BCM but he is under a year old. I will wait & see. The Wheaten has a definete brown triangle that the BCM doesn't have he used to have whitish fluff at the base of his tail that the BC has never had but it went away....I'm looking & learning.

Pink I like the expression on the girl 3rd pic from the bottom. That is perfect for that saying, "You did what with my egg?" lol Your yard looks like mine full of flower pots with stuff growing in them. I have a whole 'pot ghetto' in the backyard. I had to lug most of it into the greenhouse last night because it hit 27F here.

Ok, so I thought I wanted BC Marans. Now I think I want Wheatens. So, who/where do I find the darkest egg lines?

 

[berkeleysprings]

good pick and a good question , i like davis lines for color against the few budy henery birds but i am only going by a few birds to judge

I'm honestly very inexperienced when it comes to the egg color quality of each line of Wheaten out there. . . I know mine, who originated from Bev Davis, and I've seen a few other photos of Wheaten eggs on here, but I honestly don't even remember what was who's.

Look a new Marans variety: Pac Marans

I was looking through some photos from last winter. Here is one of my blue baby roos. He kept going up to this pacman packaging from one of the kid's video games and just staring at it.
You just gotta wonder what he was thinking lol. Maybe he wanted to eat the little ghosts.
