i got the last cuckoo maran from wilco last spring and it was not looking so good and she started laying a couple of days ago and that egg she gave us was very dark chocolate to me, the people from Wilco are no WANNABE'S they are very helpful and know what they are doing.

Quote: I think you misunderstood me. I was not saying nor did I intend that the people at Wilco are wannabe's or that they don't know cackle spackle.
My point is that these are HATCHERY BIRDS. Therefore they are wannabe's because there is no denying that hatchery birds are little more than a close resemblance of whatever breed. The only way to get "true to the breed" birds is from a TRUE BREEDER. Just like what they all sell as Ameracauna, come on who are they trying to fool they are just EE's.

THis is just MY OPINION but I WOULD give them dirt/dust to bathe in IF they want to they will. I see no harm in it.

My opinion too. I give all my two day olds a container in their brooder with dirt/sand/poop from my big girls coop so they can eat grit, scratch around and dust bathe in it if they want. It is also my way of building their resistance to cocci. Has worked for me. Others do things different.
