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

[walkswithdog]

I'm not fixed on clean legged if they're going to write the US standard for feather foots.

Ione - going in on some might be a fun idea. Especially after some of the "smoke" of fad clears. I just cruised some pics of the golden cuckoo birds. Oh my. Still I lean toward the BCs a bit, very regal looking. Too many choices. LOL.

Thank you all for your answers I'll hit the club sites again. Poor Bev's wait list is longer than Santa's good list.

Chere, those are the colors I'm leaning towards myself. I also *prefer* clean legs, but I will probably get feathered legs because the standard is being written for feathered legs and I have promised to participate in showing birds in the next coupla years.

I think Bev has both clean and feather legs, depending on the color, but I can't remember for sure. If you decide to go with feather legs, maybe we could talk about going in on an order together some time.

Oblio, most of those birds are gorgeous! That one on the left, though, has way too much white.

I was thinking the wattles were a little too pronounced, my less expert eye totally missed the excess white coloring. I was thinking along the lines of a Sport Marans. Hmmm. I should pay more attention.

They're very russetty
