    Wrath's Marans

    It's been a rough couple weeks here filled with a lot of time consumed in getting the runs weather proofed for this cold snap we got and building another bachelor coop for the boys. Saturday December 6th started out with heart break as we lost our buddy of nearly 5 years... King. Its still not...

    Wrath's Marans

    I remember this... The tip off was when he said "they sometime do not appear in next generation (they go dormant). I'm going to test this theory this year. I've kept Ronnie who is from Raven, but lays a lighter egg. I plan to backcross her to Kong and see what her progeny lays and then cross...

    Completely normal and they should molt out.

    This is news to me and I don't recall seeing this anywhere. If you come across the quote, please share. It seems to me as common sense would dictate for instance hatching eggs from a #8 hen x a roo coming from say a #4 would put you generally in the offsprings #6 egg range theoretically...

    Select your darkest eggs and test mate your roo, track your pullets first 20-30 eggs and keep selecting darkest eggs and backcross to your known dark egg roo. Male Not necessarily 100%

    I'm maybe getting 8 eggs a day. None from Kings coop and none from Poppys coop now that I've moved Christy back over into Kongs. Are you running lights? I'm letting mine take their break, they've earned it.

    Yes, I sold all the pullets and day olds from Copper and Christy (OE), so it was perfect timing and hopefully I'll get a few more of each to grow out, be nice to see another Blue or two from Poppy x Christy.

    Floating wheaten (mossiness) in BCM breed

    I just cull when I see mossiness. I've noticed minimal will sometimes molt out but excessive usually doesn't. I like your commitment to your Marans, pretty passionate about my two varieties as well. My opinion on getting hatchery stock tho, is I think it's a bad move. Your trying to eliminate...

    Feel free to come get 1 or 5. 11 Marans cockerels at the moment. 4 Silvers and 7 BCMs. The wife seems to have convinced me to keep the monstrosity Blue guy around with Ozzy the Black Silver. We've had a slight warm spell and the wind is much calmer today so scrambling to get the runs properly...
