Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

[gilavina]

so I'm working on my breeding record updates and penciling out a game plan for this up coming hatching season and I keep seeing this big glaring hole in my stock. I have no Blue Copper boy, so guess what I'm gonna be shooting for this spring?! I think I've got the makings of having a fine chance of getting a good one!

Do you really see 9 splash Pink? I do but thought I was nuts I am sooo over the moon!!! I wont be breeding that girl because of the mossy but she is a very pretty girl in a non SOP kind of way

Come on ladies I need more opinion on the White Marans is he a he or a she?

Gotta love a Silkie ... <sigh>

He/She is 6 weeks. I only had 2 hatch so really need 1 of each the other is very girly. This one is my only chance to have a pair, but at 6 weeks the other Marans have always shown me their sex. This one I hope is still up in the air and not just wishful thinking.

Debbie-Frankie is very beautiful in a manly way!

Thanks! Frankie is round as a pumpkin, the little porker.

He was born a Partridge, but he is way too red for that color now.

Raven, I sure hope you get your pair of Whites!
