And here's the other!

They look spot on for their age.

My marans seem to be maturing much faster than any of my breeds. They're pretty big and obviously still growing. Their little wattles are already coming in at only 12.5 weeks old! I'd be worried about them being cockerels but they still look like girls to me.

@Auntiejessi3 I know you have a mixed flock with marans. Do you notice the marans mature faster than the others?

Not really, since I brood outside I feel like all the chicks I grow out mature pretty quickly. Your Marans ladies will be big and robust, while some of your others maybe slimmer built. The cream legbar that is with the Bielefelder pullets (same age) looks anorexic next to them, lol

Here's one!

How old? I'm seeing both being pullets.

Edit.... Nevermind, I went looking and found it. They're pullets. And yes you need a male or 4.

Your best bet would be a Blue Copper male for Blue/Black/Splash from your two Blues.

I'm not sure what that cross produces so I'll just say.... Both!!

I actually think it makes blue and black wheaten, splash would make blue, that's how I'm making my blue wheaten OE's. Agreed, you send some eggs and I'll send some eggs
