BCM are the one's that lay the darkest eggs. Oh and its Marans even if your just talking about one bird.. Is that what you wanted to know?

Thank you. Any and all information is appreciated. Still learning all there is to know about my birdies.

I was doing my part of making dinner, and then talking to the bull guy on the phone, and then eating. And fretting a bit about other people's troubles.

Turns out my daughter is taking some time off this week for her birthday, so I'm hoping the weather settles tomorrow so I can get some work done on the coop.

Julia, possibly also some sleep, somewhere in there.

So Im going to try and post a few pictures we will see if it works.

BCM hen and rooster with Blue Ameracuana

Last year eggs will have to get new one's now.

Mud picture of Big Boy, he's so tall he just drinks out of the goats water bucket about 30 gal or something like that. When he gets tired he sits like a dog... He love's his girls.

As you can see the legs are dark or as CL said slate..

I'm glad you were able to give her such a good life and a loving, comfortable end.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, and Cuckoo Marans are a breed of Marans chickens originating from Marans, France.
Mine lay very creamy dark brown eggs.
Jumbo.
They are nice, peaceful docile birds as are Blue Copper Marans and Black Copper Marans ans all other flavors(wheaten, birchen, etc)
They all have pink legs & feet (sometimes with a little slate to them in the blue coppers), orange eyes, and all about the same body 'type'.
Plymouth Barred Rocks are an American breed, along with the other colors of PBRs: Buff, white, partridge,barred, silver penciled, etc.
They have orange eyes, and yellow legs & feet.
Their feathers grow slowly, so form a sharply defined black & white barring, whereas the Cuckoo Marans develope faster, and so the barring is blurred.
They lay a nice light brown large egg, are a good dual purpose breed, hardy too.
The Cuckoo Marans are also a sex-linked breed, where the males are much lighter, and the females darker.
You can go on the breeds index listed above & see more on each.
I will get some photos for ya one sunny day...............

LOL, yep, CL that would be the song that DH was singing when I was talking about the Marans. Thank you for the information. Very interesting. I have looked at the breed area...but did not know if the two where different breeds or different varieties. Sounds like "varities" (meaning color).

If you are going to carry a contract....check their credit first...because of your #1 thought. You are long ways away to have to foreclose on someone and to have to go through that messy process if they do not pay. #3...I agree....they just want a start at life in USA. I hope you have a good Realtor who is taking care of you and not him/herself. (imagine stern look and finger pointing) Becareful, I know you want to sell.
