Golly those are some beautiful birds. Is that your gang?

Oh no ma'am.

They're not, but I would be flattered!
My little rag tag gang is still growing up, they don't look anywhere near this put together. I also don't have any Marans.... (yet!)
Just Buff Orpingtons, Easter Eggers, Silkies, and a Barred Rock!

I need a cream legbar roo......

Shhh....I don't..really! Because I have 2 blue egg layers and I don't NEED anymore....
Right?....

It doesn't matter how pretty they are or how everyone raves about them....
When are you getting them?

Which birds are coming next week? The Ameraucana and a Cream Legbar?

Those eggs are a five using the Marans Club's card. Still pretty dark compared to most brown eggs. That is sort of typical of the Maran eggs I see in an egg show.

I will be getting all of them next week. Cream legbar, Light Sussex, BCM's and (hopefully) the Ameraucana.

I love Olive Eggers. Eggs are a darker green.

I think I may go out there on M/T. I need to call them. Otherwise it will be Th/F next week.

Edit: Tuesday morning.

Ok, School me please?? BCM?? Marans???

I don't understand!

Black Copper Maran. A Maran is a French breed of chicken valued/known for producing the darkest brown eggs. Some can be so dark they are a purpley black. I think he Black Copper color is genetically Brown/Red.

Here's the egg chart from the Marans of America Club

I'm really confused--I can't keep up with you Ms Jellybean. I thought you just posted you were getting the BCMs in May?

The Wheatens are coming in May. Unplanned chicken.

Brings my total to 5. I have not exceeded my self imposed limit. Yet. lol!

How do the cream legbar fit into this cokored egg group?

Cream legbars lay blue eggs. Combine with BCM's and you get Olive Eggers. I can't have a roo though.
