If you do a search for "Marans," there is a huge thread with pictures of different BYCers' Marans and their eggs. It might be worth your time checking out.
Thank all of you for the warm welcome! I feel right at home and hope to be an asset to the forum. Yes, my avatar is a picture of eggs from my Cottage Hill Line of Black Copper Marans. I also have Wheaten Marans. I invite all of you to check out my website at www.backwoodspoultryfarm.com
You all are going to love Buddy! He is the sweetest man!!!!!!!!! Corny, but sweet.
I just hatched out 5 beautiful wheatens from Buddy. 4 have feathered shanks. They hatched from big beautiful eggs, probably at least a 5 on the scale. Please pray that I don't end up with 4 roos, as that is what I am thinking I have!
