marchick, congratulations! What a cutie!!

kfelton0002, Very nice. Congrats.

kfelton0002, very good information. Thank you.

RedBanks, I hope I can eventually achieve that nice hackle color that your roosters have. I so want to get rid of that straw colored ring that mine seem to have towards the bottom of their hackles.

shepherd6567, thank you. I will definitely keep him around. I guess I was most disappointed in his really short back. His mother has a nice back, and while his father's could be better, it is still longer than Jazz's.

Hi RedBanks, yes, it is hard to get everything in one bird. I guess I expected to much. Hoping some of the chicks that hatched Sunday will have a little more improvement:fl

Kfelton002, thanks for clearing up my fuzzy down concern. There is improvement in his tail. His father had no tail at all. At least with Jazz there is something there. I am going to hopefully be raising more F1's, so maybe something a little better will come out eventually. Thanks for your comment.

Update on Jazz. He is 6 months old today. He doesn't have that nice long marans back, so I am a little disappointed. His back is just way to short. He's got a straw colored hackle like his father at the bottom:(. I wish his comb was better, and not resting on his head in the back. Also got some...

Hi everyone. I have been away for awhile. I hope everyone and their marans are doing well. I had 12 chicks hatch on Easter Sunday. They are more F1 generation. Zorro x my Hazel, Onyx and Styx. I just wanted to share a few pics with you all. I have alot of catching up to do.

Thank you Red Banks!

Thank you! I feel much better about it now!!

Beautiful!

Thank you! Just don' t want it to mean something bad!

Amanita, I am sorry if I made you worry in any way! Was not my intention. I hope I didn't say anything to make you doubt the beauty of your chicks. You have chicks from Monique! How awesome is that. You are going to have gorgeous marans I have no doubt. I still have a lot to learn about the...

clancys coop. Sorry about your hen. I will give this a try. I think your young cockerel is an improvement over your rooster. The pros better comb, not flopped over pretty wattles and ear lobes nice and red nice copper ear tufts pretty orange eyes Nice overall color, hackle is a little to gold...

These are pictures of the brown spotting on Jazz's wings. I feel like my LP pullets are pure BCM, they had pure black wing feathers as chicks. I am sure the spotting is coming from the father's side. All comments are welcome. Wondering what this could mean. Is there another variety mixed with...

You have a good eye chickengr. I didn't notice the dot on their heads. I did notice the excess white on some. I wasn't sure if it meant parasitic white or if they were another marans variety altogether. When it comes to chicks I know what chooks man has taught about BCM babies, but I do not know...

A long way to go, but learning from you;)

Very well said! Redbanks, you should be so very proud of your thread. Look how long it has lasted, and how many comments! Still going strong.

Chooks man you have a very unique gift! I didn't mean for my comment to sound like you were raking me over the coals in any way. I was just trying to be humorous, that is all. I know you don't tell people how to breed their birds, but we follow your philosophy because you are very wise in this...
