Very respectable...From the looks of all those dark spots, they may get darker for the next couple of weeks.

OK everybody, it is now only 20 days away until our 1st National Egg
Show. It time for us to show off our darkest Marans Eggs to the world.
Inquiring minds want to see your eggs. We have arranged for our own
table at the show, we are raffling off 'La Belle', we will be having a
Marans get together dinner, we have arranged for APA judging of the
eggs, top 3 winners will receive trophies (small,medium,large), and you
will even see Marans entered into the show. It is a 2 day event, with
the main showing taking place on Saturday, Nov. 8th. These outstanding
trophies have been custom made and would look great on your mantle!!
The rules and entry forms can be found in the files section of this
group. If you need a form e-mailed to you , just let me know. So lets
all help promote this breed by participating in the Show !!
Good Luck,


Sally


P.S. Eggs need to be mailed in now !!

Shoot! They are not laying right now! How about egg fragments from chicks that have hatched??? That's all I got!

I'll bet there are some people on this thread who have some nice eggs they might want to mail in for the egg competition.

You crack me up.

I got more eggs today from a very sweet breeder of welsummers. Cracked, and it took 5 days instead of the 2 it should have. I think the egg gods are telling me something....
