Black Copper (first, Newnan, GA - 2011) and Wheatens (Crossroads, IN - 2011) are approved so far. Cuckoo is up for approval in 2013 so we're getting organized!
The location is going to be at the Shawnee show from what they have said to me.

I dunno what happened.... I am barely a beginner and need all the guidance and input I can get, from where ever I can get it.
Anyhow.....
I have another marans laying!! I have a small batch of marans that I hatched from shipped eggs at the end of December. This makes them only barely 5 months old and I did not expect the three girls to start laying yet but look what I found!!
Here are some pics of the girls... a wheaten and a black copper... ignore the nosy wheaten ameraucana in the back. lol
One of the black copper girls has tons of copper in her hackles..
I expect all three of these girls to just be for my laying pen but I am super excited to get more darker eggs!
And now I have a question.. in the standard I read...
Quote:Christie please understand I am in no way insulting your birds. If you do not mind my asking, I am only trying to learn to better my flock. Does the last picture have what you all have been refering to as split wing?Is this guy too yellow in the hackles? Or is this color called copper? I am trying to get a mental image. To me it feels to yellow. Of course the sun is shining so looks a little lighter in the pic but it seems to me like it goes from copper to yellow. You can kinda see it without the sun around the front.
Because my littler guys that I am growing up do not seem to have any yellow. Unless this is something that shows up later.
I wondered the same thing after looking at this pic. These chicks are close to 3 months old and I think are starting to molt. I noticed a few kooky looking feathers here and there on them. I thought maybe they were getting ready to drop them? I have waaay too many boys so am looking for reasons to cull and taking notes.
