Isn't that the truth!!

I find myself being introspective a lot these days.
A lot of "If I only knew then what I knew now. "

Oh to be spontaneous and carefree!
(though I was always rather serious and a planner)

If you've found your love; dig in and hang on!
It will be SO worth it in the long run!!
You're lucky to know-so many people are so lost these days...

So true.

We'll have to continue the conversation on email. Did you have some more pics you wanted me to look at? I don't think I missed any, but I am behind on emails...just don't like writing too much when my brain feels like its in a vice.

haha...its so true you are an enabler...but then again I think nearly all of us on here enable each other in one way or another! haha

Oops-you're right!
No worries on pics-I'm hoping to take them Sunday!
I'll title them, so you can find them at a later date, in case you're swamped!

I hear you about headaches...I get migraines, as well as medically related tension headaches AND gave vertigo. :x

Off to bed-hope you're on the upswing!

Hi,
I am unsubscribing from this thread. It's always the same 12 people chit chattting. Even when I do post, I don't feel welcome, tolerated , but not welcomed. Just kinda like an interruption in the chit chat. I guess that's ok if ya'll want this thread to be that. Just not what I was looking for. Enjoy.
Best,
Karen in western PA

3riverschick has a good point. I have heard others say the same thing.
Maybe you guys should get a thread going in the Random Ramblings section, for chit chat, and let this thread be a thread about Marans exclusively. Just sayin'.........

I agree. I, too, am guilty of non-Marans chat, but sometimes we need to be a little more thoughtful of others.
I was on last night, and this morning, there were 43 unread messages, and some were about a subject that bothers me, after living in Utah.....

Your opinions please..
My lone little BC Marans. Both are clean legged (darn it)
They will be two weeks old on Saturday



I'm thinking roo on the right and pullet on left???
Him (hopefully)



Her ?

Cute babies! The one that you label "him"seems to have a bigger comb from what I can see in the pictures. I find it hard to tell at a young age and usually have to watch them longer and see if my guess were right. Hopefully others will chime in and give their thoughts.

For whatever it's worth, I enjoy reading the information that you share and find it helpful. So please continue sharing! I don't always post as I am still learning and my Marans are in the growing phase yet. I do have 3 cuckoos laying now and the egg color seems to be a little darker than what they hatched out of. I am resisting putting any in the incubator as we have close to 60 chicks hatch out currently for my kids 4-H projects. I did check fertility and that seems to be good- maybe in a month or so I will hatch some
