The Marans in the APA standard calls for slightly feathered shanks going down the outside toe.

Birds are all still alive. Most who were in the front area of my chickens, thus seen/ were attacked weren't interested in the greens I past out today and no eggs at all from them. But they are eating and moving around the pens.

Glad they are okay. Hope they stay that way.


Made spaghetti sauce out of our homegrown beef for supper, followed by cobbler. Homemade blackberry cobbler from your own blackberries can hardly be beat. I love cobbler!

Good news to hear. I think if I was one of those hens I'd clamp down
the egg factory too.

The US follows the French standard afaik. My cuckoos are clean-legged, though, and I don't see any Marans at all in my 2010 APA American Standard of Perfection. ....

The Marans were added after the printing of the 2010 Standard.
They will be in the next printing but I think you can buy an add-on
from the folks who do the SOP. The new American Standard in the
SOP calls for feathered shanks in the recognized colors.

Well, I managed to catch the remaining lost sumatra hens this morning. So that just leaves the 2 dead polish hens as a loss so far. All the other birds seem to have made it through the night.

that good the rest are alive though any dead from an attack sucks

Yes the marans were admitted after the 2010 Standard was printed.
