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

[tgcole]

Sorry for your loss, 4kidZ.

Drom, all my 6 Wheatens hatched within a week or so late this summer. They were all yellow among the black and white BC chicks. I've never had any other variations before or since and probably hatched 200 or so BCs this year. They all looked alike.

At the time they hatched, I was rotating my 3 BC roos weekly among my 7 hens. The Wheaten eggs were all very similar, and I believe they came from the same hen. My ?? theory ?? is that one particular hen when paired with one particular roo produced the Wheatens.

They disappeared just as mysteriously as they appeared and I haven't hatched one since. I hope to work with those I have and see where the line leads.

Thanks for the help. I'm pretty computer illiterate.

Solsken,
Thank you so much for your response. Somehow, when I talk or write about it...it makes it that much more bearable

Ruth- I think your "odd" egg has a birthmark! That's so cool! Should be in a magazine!!

Would you say the price of that buckwheat and the price of those eggs would be oxymaranic?? Oh am I going to pay if I'm the only one that gets that!!!
