I will probably always have a few Marans because I love the color of the eggs and the amazing richness of them. But I had no eggs from Sept. through Dec. and had to buy eggs from a local farmer. I'll get better layers for production, but they won't be as beautiful as the Marans.
They are not a social as my younger Welsummers, but get along well with the flock. One 9 mo. old did just roll over and die two nights ago. She was fine one minute and then she was gone.
