debbier Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 My cream legbar is probably the noisiest hen I've had (only out of 6), but not so bad that I find it annoying, and the neighbours haven't complained (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The Marans Club has the egg colour chart on their site http://www.themaransclub.co.uk and to be considered a Marans they should be capable of laying a number 4 on the chart at some time during their laying cycle. The shell colour will vary from hen to hen, and also throughout the laying season. Unfortunately many birds which look like Cuckoo Marans are crosses of some description which are being passed off as Marans, and often their eggs are not much darker that supermarket standard. Love to see some photos of your Barnavelder eggs, they are such pretty birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
