    I'm getting 4 'posh birds' next week!

    I know, I know, you don't have to tell me!

    But I sent the lady an email, and she sent me one back, so I'm off to collect 4 Marans next Saturday afternoon. 2 for my Mum for Mothers' Day and 2 for my Dad for his Birthday 3 days later!

    Haven't decide between Maran Cuivre or Maran Coucou yet, but they do sound posh . Will wait to see what they look like - I may get two of each, so they know who's is which.



    Yes - I will post piccies, but you've got to wait a week!

        Wonder if OH will fall for the same trick? .....

        The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

        Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

          Thanks Snadger for clearing that up - I only know brown chooks and white chooks so far! Off out now, so will do some googling tomorrow

              What a wonderful present My "posh" girls were a birthday present and my white ex-batts were a Christmas present. Lovely thoughtful gifts that keep on giving you gifts too

                      I only really know the 'cuckoo' type, but I always liked those. Mottled black-and-white feathers (it looks a bit like a very small checked pattern), but males have a lot more 'white' to their mottling, so easy to spot gender as soon as they grow any feathers!
                      Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

                        They're coming from a lady in Stebbing, near Great Dunmow. Google Happy Hens, or Hens4Homes. I got the recommendation from an old thread on here, posted I believe by KirstyB.

                        I can collect more for other people if required!
