Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

Wow I only see TWO cockerels out of that whole bunch. Take a look at my Wheatens I posted earlier - The cockerels will usually feather in much later, and their wings are a nice solid brown and black. You've only got two - The two that constantly show up in the photos as kinda naked with down but have blackish wing feathering.

Otherwise you have a LOT of pullets.

You must have hatched from Berkeleysprings ...... He sends out alot of pullet eggs, and keeps all the roo eggs to himself!

I hatched 4 pullets and 2 roos from 6 eggs of his.

That's what I thought too (about mostly pullets). But I just couldn't believe my good luck! Yay!

So true great for us not for him

I got 1 roo and 5 pullets from my six eggs. I was very happy. Nice hatch!

Seriously, the last Wheaten / Blue Wheaten eggs I bought, I got 15 eggs. . . . 6 were fertile, then. . . 3 hatched.

Guess what?! ALL boys! The nice thing is that my supplier was SO kind when we bought sexed Wheaties from her, she charged us half price because of our luck with the eggs.

Don't know on shipping, I picked mine up. I can tell you his flock of Wheatons are very nice. Well colored and big roo. The chicks are feathering out great. I have a pic of my mix flock of Maran chicks you can see some Wheatons in the back.

Thanks for all the pullets Berkeleysprings!
