henny penny Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Does any one have these? What are they like and do they have photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovemychooks Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) I had 2 Marans and loved them to bits. They are sooooooo friendly and mine followed me everywhere, talked to me and were really good company. I also had a bluebelle (is that similar to a blue bird ?) who was lovely but I could never get near her because she was really jumpy even though I tried to stroke her at night she didn't like it. The pic under my name is of one of my Marans. I think i've deleted most of the pics but i'll have a look for you. Just found the pic which is under my name..... http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee62/prawn76/2.jpg I thought I had a pic of my bluebelle but it looks like I haven't. I am due to pick one up in the next week or so, so i'll post a pic then. I would HIGHLY recommend getting an English Maran, they are beautiful chickens Edited April 14, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 My maran is my best layer of lovely dark brown eggs. She's a hardy little thing, no illness *touch wood*, she's busy all day, inquisitive, and is my "model hen" at my hen parties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henny penny Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Ooooh she is lovely I think I will definitely get a maran, and a sussex so only one more to chose!(':?') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 If you mean bluebelles I find them to be lovely. They're very friendly and even my two bluebelles who are now about three are laying well and we're getting probably about 10 eggs off them a week.
