Rappel du premier message :

Just a few of the birds from littlepeddler's marans in USA.

And where's David Hancox (blackdotte)???

It would be a pleasure to speak with him in english !!!...and see Australian's bird !!!

If you can tell him y enjoy ggkuygk

Well lets see.........I'm a very small time breeder because I believe that it is best to have one breed and get that breed perfected. So I just have BC Marans. And very few of them. I wont introduce any US blood line in mine at all. So I have about 5 breeders BC hens at this time. I do have a cock and a hen from my BC line that are homozygous and carry the wheaten marans gene so I now have a start of wheatens. They have been removed from my BC breeding program. They are a work in progress but have a import line that I will be bringing into them this fall. I also live in the city so that also restricts me to number of birds. So at the point this small time breeder only have about 20 birds and that's if I count a stray guinea.
I know of folks that has 100's of birds and truly I just don't know how they do it. Like I say I do one thing and work on it until I get it right.

Yes David is about the only one I work with on a regular basics with my lines. You get to much information from other breeders then I feel that is where you get more confused. And this blond can't handle to much info at a time lol

Brain overload... especially when it comes to genetics.... now that is where I would love to get some books passed on to me if you know of some that can be helpful. :help:

Brenda Ok, we have among us breeders with staff beyond the 200 subjects.

I hope you will continue to develop the Marans in other varieties such as wheaten or why not the blue copper!!

David is welcome to speak genetic ...may be he want's to translate chickencolors the Sigrid's book (y don't know)
