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

[geebs]

You have to lose a good roo to gain that wisdom... I should have carried two....I have never yet been able to better my first roo... (very sad).... Those look alot like the one I lost... Really rich color and no yellowing. If we were closer I would babysit one of them for ya..

okay.. I just have to post em... Pix of newest chick hopefuls for spring 2011. They just came in the mail!!!! They are Bayhorsebonne

And her packaging... Wow.. She is a great shipper!! This is the best wrapped eggs I have ever gotten... all in perfect condition.

These will go on the April hatch thread.... I can't find the one Pinkchick put up... Anyone know where to find it???

Pinkchick's April thread is called the hatch-a-holics thread I think.

Not sure what to think of this? Is this something that might change on a two week old BCM?

 

[geebs]

If you are referring to the white feathering.... Yep that is likely to change... The color will most likely run down the quill to the tip... It isn't a culling point until after the first molt I am told. I have also heard it said that white feathers are initially a mark of good breeding.. How true this is.. idk
