Wheaten and Blue wheaten Marans Discussion Thread

[Groovynatureguy]

Here is my Wheaten Marans as of today. She is 27 weeks old. I named her Hershey.......hoping for dark eggs. Looks like it will be a while though.

Too cute.

Mine is 6 months. She hasn't started to lay yet but is becoming more assertive with the other hens so I think soon....

Oh, another question if I can. My Wheaton rooster is 6 months as well. Can he successfully fertilize at that age? He's sure trying.

He sure can be successful at this age.

Can anyone help me identify my Marans rooster color and type. He was bought from a breeder who sold him as a blue copper Marans. His color is wrong for that, but I am wondering if he is another type altogether... maybe a blue wheaten?? Can he be responsibly bred with a blue copper female to produce babies, if so what would their offspring be?? All information about him is greatly appreciated. Below are some pictures of him now at about 22 weeks and some from about a month and a half ago below those. I think he is gorgeous and he is super sweet.

I don't see the wheaten or duck wing influence and most likely I'm wron but How bout some Columbian

 

[Bangarang64]

I'm not sure what that is - some Birchen in there I guess.
