Wrath's Marans

I'm doing pretty good, thanks. Yes, I've been getting out in short spurts over the last couple days, but feeling better every day. Wife won't let me do anything which is annoying, so I just stare at the birds or do head counts. Going out here shortly to try to get some pictures while we swap birds out to free range.

Sounds like you've got a good woman there!

I got pics done for the 7 boys for selecting thru them, but this guy was the standout just in demeanor. He was super relaxed for the camera and pretty much stayed in that one spot but would curiously follow the phone. So I went nuts and took over 30 pics of him. I'm hoping he doesn't have any major faults and I can hang on to him a bit longer.
He is blue/yellow banded, Kong x Angel @ 18 wks old.
I took a lot of pics of his back as I'm seeing very slight copper coming in on his shoulders, hopefully he's just a late bloomer.

Hey all, I haven't been on for awhile other than just popping on and off the site out of sheer boredom being bedridden.
My everyday activities came to a crashing halt last week, out of nowhere my heart wanted to come to a full stop and try to exit my chest. So with that little scare and 4 stents later, I'm coming back around but moving a little slower these days.
My amazing wife has taken over the bird tender and hubby sitting business for a bit until I get my strength back up to speed.

Just taking it day by day here for the moment and thrilled to still be around to annoy my wife and kids, hug my grandbabies and visit the birds and all my friends here at BYC daily for a little while longer.

Glad to read that you made it and congrats on your wife! Just take it slow and get well soon!

As a nice distraction, you may want to have a look at the beautiful eggs in this thread

Yes, they are. And maybe you can even acquire some of her pure BCM hatching eggs next spring for your own breeding project?

Interesting possibility....

Beautiful!

I think he's going to be a 'goober' like his Dad.

So being a "Goober" is not good?

No it means I hope he has no major faults because I'd really like to keep him around.

One of my favorite pics of his Dad, Kong.
