Randy, do you find that the wheaten back will lighten up some after the first full molt ? Don

Randy, If I ever got a good Marans male or female I would show it until it was not as good as some of the younger Marans. I think that if you check your older Marans you will see that the older Marans are muscled up more and heavier. Don

I lost my Wheaton Rooster on Sat he was find in the Am and dead in the afternoon, laying by his food and water. My husband found him and had been taking care of them. He said he didnt look or act sick.
So now I need to find a rooster my hens are all starting to lay nice dark eggs. Im going to put their eggs on for a week but still need one.
Any ideas?

Depends on the bird. Maybe three years max for a male and a bit longer for a female. Just like real life.
