ROTFL because Jackie just did an impulse buy! But she did BLRW.

Sounds like you got a great deal, Heidi. Can't go wrong with Marans, imo. I like the breed as a whole but had less luck with the wheatens so I sold them. They had the darkest egg color of any I had at that time but I now have that dark color in the ones I am breeding. I worry that my splash roo, Regis, will not produce as well of a color of eggs because the lighter the feather color the lighter the egg, in my young experience.

However, I am setting only the darkest eggs from hens with him so I can further my breeding program.
And I love his heavily feathered legs, too. Don't know why but his just look fetching on him.

He is on the bottom of my black copper Marans webpage.

Keep us informed of how they do. I get eggs shipped to me all the time and most are in good shape. However, NC has been my worse state for shipping.

Alright Jackie!! That makes me feel so much better!! Our chicks(if any make it

)will hatch around the same time!

I am sending more out in the mail tomorrow. I went on the swap thread again and grabbed 3 pairs of medical scissors. Mine seem to walk off around here for some reason.

So the next person up grabbed my meal worms. That's cool because I have 4 bins and they are multiplying like mad. I don't feed them to my chicks often enough, I suppose.
