Hi guys, just a shoutout...
Any Marans club members attending Northeast Poultry Congress in Mass this month...
I was just made aware that Skip Pate was just diagnosed with lung cancer, and any help you can give at the Marans table would be greatly appreciated.
Along with prayers to Skip.
And...
Be very careful with any live vaccination.
The flock needs to be quarantined for a few weeks for the effects of the vaccine to do their job, and NOT be transmittable to anything else.
Also, anything used, needles, bottle, everything, needs to be incinerated. I have a friend that brings this...
Tina, there is a new website called http://www.poultryshowcentral.com/ Valerie has filled an important gap.
I invite everyone to visit. And much easier to find shows than the Poultry Press.
See post #9https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/385769/marans-proposed-standards-for-reference-purposes
And yes, this is ANOTHER Marans thread that everyone needs to read.
Thanks, Math Ace!

We aren't ignoring you, it's just that the same questions are asked over...
If you read thru the web of questions, you will find that EVERYONE has the same questions as you, and they are all answered here.
Just a matter of finding it. There is no simple way. We make all you newbies work for it, just like we did!
OOOh, we may just be able to meet! I have a few peeps that want to take a road trip.
I have just been busted by a new neighbor that doesn't like the crowing coming from my back yard.
Let's just say I am allowed 6 hens.
I have a cockerel from Marquisella that I will have to get rid of, will post...
Mel is back! Or maybe I just need to read thru all these posts....
I have some beautiful pullets growing out. Every time I go outside, I feel proud.
And those eggies are looking pretty nice, too.
That said, I will keep you all in suspense, because I am lazy, and hate posting pictures.
I still...
Don, glad to see you're back. Culler just sounded evil.
Country, #1, I like his type, but the coloring is too far off.
#2, I don't like his tail, but do like the leg feathering
#3, need a better pic of him standing correctly, but poor leg feathering
#4 is eh, OK, but not crazy about his comb
#5...
