Cuckoo Marans ^
Thank you! I just received some hatching eggs today. One is a Birchen Marans, and one is a BCM! I sure hope they hatch successfully!Very nice close up pictures! cute little chicks.
I am hoping they hatch and do good for you! I will have to study more. a Bircher Marans? just pretty or suppose to lay dark brown eggs?Thank you! I just received some hatching eggs today. One is a Bircher Marans, and one is a BCM! I sure hope they hatch successfully!
Thank you! Either I misspelled it, or autocorrect did, lol. Birchen Marans are supposed to lay very dark eggs. This is what they look like:I am hoping they hatch and do good for you! I will have to study more. a Bircher Marans? just pretty or suppose to lay dark brown eggs?

Thanks, good luck to you, too. I don't know a lot about egg color genetics. I think that a BCM/BM cross would result in an egg color at least as dark or darker than the BM, and possibly as dark as the BCM color, but probably not. Birchen eggs:Well, they are very pretty birds. I hope they lay nice dark eggs for you. Having chickens is a constant learning game. so what happens if you breed black/copper with birchen Marans? or do most keep the colors bred with the same colors to keep those colors? I only have handful of black/copper which I am raising. so no eggs yet. The cuckoo marans I have seen don't seem to lay dark brown eggs. and they remind me of barred rocks, so I just like to keep my barred rocks. no interest in the cuckoo's. I think I like the birchens though. I haven't seen any of those in person. I am hoping I will have a few black/copper eggs to hatch next spring for myself. and a nice rooster to use on the Easter eggers. Best to you.
Those are nice eggs. I am hoping for that!Thanks, good luck to you, too. I don't know a lot about egg color genetics. I think that a BCM/BM cross would result in an egg color at least as dark or darker than the BM, and possibly as dark as the BCM color, but probably not. Birchen eggs:
