They look lovely. Wish we had such nice Marans in Australia. Sure is green at your place. Looks like you would keep the mower busy.

That would be great. I just put a heap into lockdown. Some of the air sacs seemed a bit large, so not sure how the hatch is going to go.

Yea, I was going to ask how they keep grass! My chickens eat everything green! All my hostas are gone, the lower parts of any bush, and my grass! And I only have 20 chickens and 25 acres of land! Why do they have to eat everything aroung the house???? They free range and can go anywhere? Ugh!

What do you guys think should I breed him to a blue or black?
