Egg for egg??? or is that not fair enough??? I really like the rooster one... I would love a picture of my rooster painted on an egg.... Those are amazing... I will adorn my tree with them next year... I will blow out some marans ones for the shipment as well... When do you want to do this?

NOPE! I have been EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in the marans egg production. I have 1 bird that hasn't laid an egg in 6 months. I have another bird that lays 1 egg every two weeks. Lastly, I have 2 girls that lay really good when they are laying. However, they have decide that they need a winter vacation. It started a month ago.

I am talking NO EGGS from 4 birds in over a MONTH. Every one else is pulling their own weight, but these slackers. They may need to be renames - - breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert if they don't start laying soon.

Maybe the three breeds I keep to specialize in will be Delawares, speckled sussex and partridge rocks - - - -

I REALLY don't see the point in chickens that don't lay eggs. . . . .
I live in FLORIDA - - REALLY, should they be complaining about my weather ? ? ?

NOW, I betcha you are wishing you hadn't asked

I share your sentiments Lisa. My lone 2 hens that are laying age have not given me one eggs in a couple of months & I don't know when the young ones are going to ever start. I my limited experience they don't seem to be a prolific laying breed.
