Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

[flgardengirl]

Sara the babies sometimes have white on thier faces it should molt out
The brown mossiness might not molt out. I am on my phone typing so it
Makes the pics really long lol so cant evaluate as much as normally would.
It sounds like u have a cute little chicken family there.
My lead key west rooster and my lavender orp roo are the best daddys. They always. Scratch for bugs and
Call the babies. The orp roo tried to play daddy yo a baby duck
And a couple of kittens too lol. Hes a nut.

OHHHHH!! So happy for you Barb! They are darling! I certainly hope that yellow puff ball is your silkie..otherwise you got some massive overfeathering on those middle toes.

Besides those others in the incubator dryin...do you have more pips and such?

By the way Barb, what' the blue one in the middle? I don't remember you listing blues, but it could just be my memory failing me at the moment too

Blue Ameraucana

(Seemed to have a bit of a rough hatch. Bald spot on the head. "Stuff" stuck to the feathers and not nearly as nicely fluffed up as the others but seems vigorous and healthy in the brooder so I'm thrilled.) My passion is the blues ....

(I have a couple of Blue Ameraucana cockerels. I am SO hoping for a blue girl .... )

No more pips at this point ...

(But I haven't packed things in yet .... )

I really shouldn't complain. 10 at this point is FABULOUS!!!!

I was using the eprinex during the Spring worming BECAUSE of the No Egg withdrawal.... and Lo and behold if I didn't end up with a case of tapeworms

You are correct, Eprinex does not kill tapeworms....
