Where do you get your cuckoo marans?

[SGM]

Out of the ones I just picked up yesterday we have 3 bad or cull roosters and probably 1 hen. I am disappointed they aren't conforming to breed standard with the right leg color. At least 2 are correct. I still believe they're not mixes or at least not all. So we'll just have to wait and see the egg colors and all.

That's too bad,SGM. Hope the good ones turn out to be fabulous!

You're sweet! There are tons of knowledgeable people on the Marans boards on Yahoo and enjoying our Marans thread here on BYC - Please do join us! Cuckoos are such nice birds too! My opinion, they need to be shared, reasonably, and should have the darkest eggs possible. I feel mine are in the mid-range of the color scale at a 4 or 5, which is why I offer them for free, plus the cost of shipping.
Later, when I am able to have the birds and colors and lines I truly want, they may be a bit more precious, but I am not a sales person. I like to share!
Enjoy the breed, promote the breed, research and educate yourself on the breed. They are worth the effort, but dont join the freaky crowd just to part of the "In crowd" and make a nasty mess of them. Stick to what is really best for the birds....
Oh, off my soap box.........plop........I need more coffee........
