Oh, I was doing the happy dance yesterday! One of my BC Marans laid her first egg! Not as dark as I would have liked but it is still pretty! My one Gold Laced Cochin pullet I kept this season also laid her first egg yesterday. I know this because she keeps crawling under the wire into the guinea pen and she is the only hen in there.

Yippee! Hopefully your other Marans will see that and start laying, too. And they hopefully will lay darker than she does. There are always some lighter laying girls than I like and I either sell them or put them in my free range flock.
