These are my Marans x Welsummer babies that are about 5 months old now. I love the color and size of my Marans eggs, but wish they layed more of them. I also love my Welsummer eggs, but wish the birds were a little less flighty,and I also prefer blue birds. Can't tell you what the eggs are like yet, because they are too young, but here are some pics of the birds.
Sorry for the poor quality photos-my iphone is so darn convenient,but doesn't take the best pics in low light and on moving targets!
The barred pullet is a marans x lavender Ameraucana,with a Delaware hen, Splash Marans and SS butt in background.
I have 2 of these blue cockerels. Had a black one but gave him away today.
Blue cuckoo and spash marans in background are the dads.
Black copper marans is also one of the dads.
Egg on R is (I believe) a welsummer egg that the babies would have hatched from.
