    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    If no one breeds for type the breed will never get into the standard. Why not breed for type first then egg color? A lot of people starting out breeding Marans have been attracted to the breed by the dark egg colour. Very often, new breeders are not very familiar with correct type for Marans...

    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    In an age where dual purpose birds have fallen out of favor a bird that is as heavy, slow maturing, and consumptive as the Marans without having a high lay rate would be considered usless. Have I misunderstood this statement? Marans are renown for being fast maturing.

    ?cross breeding for NEW color-Lace Genetics-Sebright?

    The sebright with the white lacing is dominant white. Recessive white would not show in the first generation & cause a completely white bird in the second generation.

    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    Dark eggs are a breed characteristic. If the bird does not lay a dark egg or have dark egg laying sisters, female offpring etc...then it is not a Marans. Those people who frequently question the characteristicsof the breed ought to take it up with the French as it was they who set the breed...

    Splash and Buff should not be bred together. Well not unless there is a specific goal in mind.

    how do these look for Maran egg color

    Don't worry what one or two people say about your eggs. Even if they lay less then a 4 they are still a Marans chicken. They do not become a different breed no more what other people say. I agree with Katy. There is no point in asking for an opinion if one doesn't really want one. Indeed...

    Fair price for breeding stock? 20 yrs developing silver laced Brahmas

    Am I correct in thinking these are the only silver laced Brahmas in the world? If so I think $100 per pair is much, much too cheap. You've put a lot of years into producing such beautiful birds. They're far too special to be virtually given away for $100 per pair. I'd have said considerably...

    Brown Red questions (Ameraucana)

    Dilute (Di) is supposed to dilute pheomelanin to a light yellow. Your brown reds look as if they do not have Di but look dark enough to, possibly, have Mahogany (Mh). So I'd guess your birds to be ER, Mh. To some extent autosomal red(s) is/are still being discussed. Imo gold birds would...
