Marans

just got marans! 4 black and one blue. All about 20 wks. I am so excited for eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I've got a copper and a black morans and they both started laying at about 28/30 weeks and now give me a egg a day. They are my two best layers right now. They only rate "good" with 5 eggs a week but these girls are pumping out 6/7 a week. If your not giving them 16% layer pellets you could be "stunting" or slowing thier laying. I've found Nutrena and Purina better than local mills or scratch. Try one out for size. You'll love 'em when they start up.
 
I've got one BC about 6 months old and no eggs yet. She's already much bigger that my laying 2 mutts, and sweet. I got a barnevelder about the same age, and the barnevelder snuggles under the BCM's wing. So sweet! She's a wonderful big sister! :)
 
At last I have eggs¡!!!!
Oh wow, Congratulations!

Did your Marans start laying at 22 weeks?

I'm still waiting for mine to lay

All of mine were born somewhere between April to June.
 
My Marans were closer to 23 weeks, but the days had been short and then I added a lite, so that may have made a difference in the length of time it took them to start.


I was off in how old they were.
