Right.....they are gentle and fairly quiet. I want them mostly for their egg color. Deep chocolate colored eggs

That is good to know! I have been looking into dark brown egg layers but read that marans can be flighty, so I thought they might not be a good fit for me. Sounds like yours are lovely.

I'm all about the colored eggs. I wish I could find a pink egg layer.

there really is not one breed that will lay pink eggs. I had an Australorp that laid them sometimes.

My buff Cochin lays pinkish eggs! They are beautiful.

And oh oh oh, speaking of colored eggs, I did not tell you guys earlier cause I was taking a break when it happened, but my second legbar pullet FINALLY started laying at the beginning of January. 8 months old, but finally laying. And they are green! I am thrilled! I know blue is more desirable (and the breed standard), but I feel very lucky to have gotten a blue egg layer AND a green egg layer from my pair of pullets :)

My FBCMs are nice. Not one is a little more leery then the other but not run in terror afraid. The girl in my sugar for wounds thread is a FBCM. She got used to the daily handling easily. Now that she's well she prefer I not snuggle her but again doesn't run in fear or anything.

Check out County Line Rainbow Eggs. She has some of the darkest Marans eggs I've ever seen. I'm very tempted by her birds and she's only about 5 min from my house. Not sure what she prices them at because it's not listed. Makes me afraid to ask. :oops:

That's awesome. I am getting a Wellsummer and an Isbar in March. Isbars are supposed to lay pretty green eggs
