Your very welcome

To update my earlier post. These are Angels 1st 18 eggs. I'm very pleased with her.

Marans eggs are based on a color chart set by the Standard of Perfection for their breed. 1-9, 9 being the darkest. If a Marans does not lay at least a 4 on this chart she is not a true Marans. With that breeders strive to achieve 7,8,9 on this chart with 9 being highly desirable and sought...

Just an update that all 3 are officially laying now. Angels eggs have darkened a tad bit which I'm happy about. Looking forward to seeing if Copper's and Raven's darken up also.

Weather does not play a role but it does coincide with shorter daylight hours when we are talking about snow and cold in the northern states like Michigan. So it's relatable in that aspect. And shorter daylight hours will affect egg laying at any age (6 months included) without supplementing light.

That's a very pretty egg. Congrats.

Thank you so much. ♥️ BCM's are my obsession and a work in progress towards breeding, but I'm getting lots of help from members here in the Marans thread. Just wanted to show you there's still hope yours might start laying soon. Best wishes.

I have 3 Black Copper Marans pullets that are 25 wks. Angel laid her first egg 11/27 @ 23 weeks and the other 2 are showing interest in the nest box. I'm in Michigan... Brrrr.
