You can add on the feathered legs by breeding your bird to one with feathered legs. Easy.

The long feathers are saddle feathers and correct. The legs without feathers are the English strain of Marans. They came to USA first. When Marans were adopted into APA standard, they chose French feathered legs. English cannot be shown. I prefer English. Personally I think leg feathers should...

You should see the color of rooboo's Marans eggs. Wow.

The breed type is terrible. Note the huge tail and short back. Not any Marans color I know of. Could be one of those Black Breasted Red ( Golden Salmon Marans) which sometimes crop up out of a Black Copper Marans strain. That would explain the black on some of the feathers that shouldn't be...

Oh I used to know all this. Hum, let me think. Ok, it could have been strains named Cratty ( dark egg show winner, English strain cuckoos out of Clarksville, PA ( western PA) Or Ripley, or Fitch. or Fugate. All those were English, clean-legged strains ( except Fugate which was a French strain)...

That's not a lot. I spent 50. a bird for my started Light Sussex when I bought my foundation trio. Buy the best and breed the best to the best. You don't need a bazillion to start. Just a trio (1M,2F) or a quad (2M,2F) will do Then make contacts with other Little Peddler breeders who are at...

I have never heard of a Longhorn Marans. I think someone is pulling your leg. Ok let's look at the colors. Top left hand pic. the light bird is a Wheaten. I can't tell from this pic how correct her coloring is It looks pretty good. The dark bird is a Black Copper Marans Right hand pic at the...

Oh I am so excited for you! Brenda's strain is so lovely! Their value is also in not being mixed with any other strain. Once you do that you have "just another" Marans. Nothing special. So how does one propagate a flock with a small gene pool? Bob Blosl, a late and sadly lamented Educator here...

Hi, I don't believe so. The Marans are a European breed. The stock in the USA comes from (basically) France, England, Canada, and Belgium. Ameraucanas are and Americanized version of a South American breed. I believe they lay a blue egg? In which case the Marans would not be helpful because...

Not that I know of. Best, Karen
