Hi, I'm a homesteader on 9 acres in the PNW. I had a small commercial flock, about 300 hens, of pastured layers in California before heading north to do things on a smaller scale. I brought my "hobby" flock with me, along with a few Muscovys, sheep, goats, retired horses, dogs, and cats. After...

Hi y’all! So I’ve been reading, researching, and raising chickens for the passed 3 years. Now I am looking to get more in depth and start breeding some of the harder to find breeds in this area. The three breeds I have decided on are black copper Marans, BBS Marans, Cream Legbars, and Svart...

Hello everyone. I also have black and blue copper marans eggs available. My eggs are between a 5-7 on the color scale with my black copper being the darkest eggs available. My hens are gorgeous! As with any eggs no guarantee on hatching rates but dry hatching has always worked in my favor. I...

I am in Boise, Idaho and looking for very dark Marans eggs, also looking to add some more CLB hens, looking for blue rather than the green eggs if anyone has those. Also BLUE layers, Americanas or other rare breeds etc. Please contact me if you have any breed laying that color. I have an EE...

Anyone have a black copper marans pullet or hen in Utah? I am hoping to find one preferably over 5 weeks old to add to my existing flock. Thank you kindly.

Has anyone on here done a cross between a cream egg laying breed and a dark laying breed with red tones? (For example: Marans, Penedesenca, Welsummer, Croad Langshan, etc) I know there are many variations in the colors of the dark layers, so I'm specifically asking regarding the red toned eggs...

Hey there! Was on here a lot a few years back finding breeders and researching, and then took a long break. Now I'm back since I finished working on my line. I am getting some good color on my eggs! Love my marans!

Around October my 10 month old Marans based hybrid stopped laying. Despite being a hybrid that is supposed to lay through winter, I just put this down to a reduction in daylight hours and thought no more of it. She did lay two unexpected eggs last week, meanwhile my other girls have carried on...

From a pen with 1 black and 1 blue roo over 5 blue hens, 3 black hens, and 1 splash hen. Roos came from my darkest eggs last year. All stock has properly feathered shanks, coloration (one of my blues has a bit lighter gold hackles than the deeper mahogany). Some eggs will get lighter the longer...

I'm new to chicken keeping and currently have six chickens: two roosters and four hens. They are a Dominique and Marans mix given to me as chicks by my "Chicken Mentor" and are less than a year old. I'm planning on expanding the flock in the spring, most likely with pure Marans, but am keeping...

Good day my "peeps", I have a pullet that just graduated to HEN :) yea!!! She is a Welsummer and I have a Black Copper Marans roo. The roo is only 7 months old so I have a couple questions as I am new to having a roo. #1 He is only 7 months old, is he sexually mature? #2 What breed do you get...

I'm new to genetics, can anyone tell me if you can get autosexing chicks from Silver Crested Cream Legbars and Cuckoo Marans? I know if you put a black rooster with the Cuckoo's, they'll be autosexing, and Cream Legbars are autosexing by themselves, or you can put Bielefelders and CLs together...

Today I Review a business called Brinkhaven Acres. I am greatly disappointed by my interactions with this business. In a recent order, I attempted to purchase 4 blue birchen marans - as advertised – on the website. This order was placed prior to a disclaimer of “chicks may be blue black or...

Hi all, I’m located in Northwest Arkansas and am looking to add to my flock of 8. Would prefer to add pullets that are already outside, no brooder babies. Looking for Marans (especially black copper but would like all kinds), Easter Eggers or Ameraucanas, Cream Legbars, Welsummers, Olive Eggers...

Hello everyone. I wanted to share my list of available breeds for Spring 2018. If interested reply here or in a personal message. Most breeds come from show quality lines. However what you will hatch be be a nice quality from the line but it is entirely up to you to determine which birds to keep...

I've been away for a while tending my herd. Now that I'm back, a few things have changed, so I'm sure I will have a few things to learn about posting and getting I a new forum (and saving it to my page). But all the while I have been telling chicken people about this site ("I learned everything...
