Hi Beth! Welcome to the Marans thread!

Thanks for sharing pics of your birdies! Before I comment on Harley is there a way to get some photos of him from the front so we can see his breast and undercolor? I know I'm asking alot because I know how hard it is to get photos of the chickens, but a front shot will really help. Thanks!
Cute babies! I love Welsummers too! I gotta ask.....did you end up with 2 Welsummer roos out of those babies?

Thanks!

That batch of Wellies had a few more chicks so not sure of those, but I did end up with 3 roos, and 3 hens to keep, plus that little black booger... hehe...
good thing she was a hen! hehe... and now I have her a hubby...
I'll post the pics of his front when I get home tonight, they are on the phone still... but I have a couple...
he is a sweetie, raised in my bathroom, so he got very friendly... but didn't like the added pullets last summer... ugh... so he only got the one hen...
my Cuckoos on the other hand, Freckles is so sweet, he allows the other roo in there, and accepts any pullets I need to incorporate outside...
I'd love to separate them this year and try to hatch some of their eggs, but wonder about the fertility at thier age... what do you think?

Ok experts, here is Blue Butt at 10 days old. Pullet or cockerel?? I'm leaning towards pullet myself, any opinions??

Hmm, I thought the same thing Wynette, but one of my pullets from my first clutch looked pretty stout in the legs too, plus had a huge comb! She gave me another egg today, and is a purty, plus size gal!
