Hello, I am thinking about getting some Marans, I love the dark eggs. I came across this local ad what do you guys think? It's a lot of money.

They stole other breeder's egg photos, they can't even spell Ameraucana, I wouldn't get from them.

Illia's choice.. Cree farms... I agree!!!

I am traveling up there next week to replace a hen.

The best way to get the best product is to go closest to the source... We will gladly give you references.. I vote Cree and BayhorseBonne for Wade lines. Also heard good things about Brenda Littlepeddler... haven't gotten any of her so that isn't first hand info... Dollar for dollar you buy the best and you will NOT be dissapointed... There is a sizeable different between good and GREAT birds and eggs.

See thats why i come to you guys first. Once i get my own place i want to get some good good quality birds. I would love to be able to hatch and hatch and have people want MY birds. but alas i moved back in with my parents and even though we have 2 acres to work with i cant convince them to let me get more and more.

I am happy to hear this -- I just bought 30+ from bayhorsebonne yesterday when I visited her to pick up a sportsman. They will be the start of my Black Copper Marans flock. The eggs are beautiful - some darker than others.

It says they are Bev Davis lines. I would chance it.

I would like to know how you decide WHO is the best! I bought from repuatable breeders and AM disappointed.

What about the prices? Im still researching so are the prices average?

I paid just a little more than that for the bayhousebonne eggs, but I was able to pick them up in person so no shipping.
