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

[Mountain Sunshine]

My cuckoo marans her name is Willow. She follows me everywhere around the yard and as as soon as she hears the door open she darts for the porch. She is my favorite girl!

I hate to be the one to tell you but someone has to I guess. Look at all the barring in the feathers. If you are just wanting some dark egg the pullet would be ok for this. Even the ones that you have from this hatch that are BC I would not want then for Marans. This is the problem with buying from someone we do not know. I am guility of doing the same thing myself.

It is funny how they do that. Willow is so silly, she will sit by the porch and wait for me to come out. Then she just gets so happy and will follow me everywhere. sometimes she will just jump up and down. I wish she would go broody, she would make a great mom!

I'm sorry to tell you, but those are not Marans. Pretty birds, but not Marans.

My Cuckoo Marans (Rupert, LaVerne and Shirley) have been some of my most favorite birds. On my BYC page, at the very bottom, is a little story about them. Love them!

I love your page and I love your cuckoo marans. I want more of them. I love the others but Willow is just special to me. Its like we have a bond.
I loved your story about the Cuckoo Maran Rooster singing to his girl. That was sweet.

Well, that depends on his quality and your area pricing. I hear in California they get good prices, but here where I am .... I gave mine away!

Well I think he is pretty nice but like all there is room for improvement, I don't know what area prices are that is the problem.
