Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

Thank you--I printed it out. I was looking for it on the Marans of America Club, they don't have it on their website. I didn't know about this other Club.

Got it....Here is the link to the SOP for BCM on the marans thread...

We are getting some of that nasty weather that the southern states have been experiencing over the last few days.
WINDY.... I was trying to work in the garden BUT it is just to windy.

The wind has my roos freaked out. I went into town for about an hour. Came back to find that one of my delaware cockerels ( about 9 months old) got loose and was scrapping with my oldest roo, a 9 lbs black copper marans rooster. I just finished cleaning up BOTH boys and putting them in their respective pens.... HONESTLY, what are these boys thinking? They should be leading their ladies to safety, some place not being subjected to this wind. Instead, they are deciding who could get the most scabs on their combs and wattles. Both of these boys are very gentle roos... My favorite two boys...

I guess the one that flew over the fence will be getting his wings clipped tomorrow! That would be the younger cockerel. When you way 9 lbs plus... you don't fly over fences too well LOL. There is something to be said about having LARGE fowl. My leghorns are a PITA to fence in because they can fly over the fences... LOVE the Big Butt birds for many reasons... ADD this to the list... They don't fly over fences very well LOL!

I was thinking the other day that there needs to be a NEW level created for BYC members who post something like 7,500 or 10,000 posts...

Once you reach 5,000 posts and become a flock master there is no new level...

I thought I would throw this teaser out there.... I still have pics to post from Newnan...
Here's ya'lls hint:

PINK... What do you want to see that hasn't been shown yet?

My only question is do you want them presented like I did the first time...
Cage Card and then Picture

OR do you want them presented like I did last time...
Pictures only, unless you ask to see the cage card ? ?

I'll check back with ya'll in a couple of hours and see what you think

How do you make blue & splash copper marans?

I can assure you, that was not the case. I was at the qualifying show and saw the birds with my own eyes. Unfortunately, Debbi, the quality of Marans at that show was NO different than the birds presented at Newnan.

Oh my, that is very sad to hear. I still hold by my thinking that this breed was approved too soon. Still not enough uniformity. When I can breed and hatch birds in cookie cutter style, I will jump on the show wagon. I want 'em coming out of the eggs like Beagles!!

Lisa, did you get NO pics of the Wheatens?? I would really like to see them! Prayers to you in FL with the ugly weather!! This is going to be a long, and I'm afraid, treacherous spring...
