“Shelly our wheaten marans is our biggest of the big girls. She is robust, and her coloring is lovely. She isn't the most cuddly chick, but she jumps onto my lap to roost and after an initial protest noise, she allows us to pet her. I think the initial noise may simply be surprise/acknowledgement, because she always comes back and she is tolerant. She's middle to upper end of the pecking order and so far (4 weeks) pleasant to her mixed flock of sisters. Good personality, easy to handle, an all-around winner.”
“Have some reservations about buying and shipping in August. I lost two chicks within 48 hours of arrival but they weregasping when they arrived.. Thesurving chicks are now robust and healthy and doing great”
Thank you Joanna for leaving a review for your Wheaten Marans chicks. We are so very sorry that you lost two of the chicks on your order. It is heartbreaking! We have been in contact with you about both of your losses. Our guarantee covers any baby bird that was lost during transit, provided you pick up the birds promptly at the post office and notify us within 48 hours of arrival, and even covers those babies that you properly cared for but pass away before the notification deadline elapses. http://www.mypetchicken.com/backyard-chickens/chicken-help/What-if-one-of-my-chicks-dies-on-the-way-to-me-H108.aspx?
“Our girl is so beautiful, with a coloring close to a Favorelle. She's super fluffy and friendly, though she doesn't like to be picked up. She lays stunning large specked eggs - each a work of art. I would certainly recommend this breed!”
“I made my whole order decision last spring based on the Wheaton Marans. I ordered a rooster (Will wheaton)who is a wonderfully calm gentleman and his two hens (Pria and Amy Farrow Fowler). Amy is his favorite and Pria is left behind at the bottom of pecking order in my flock. These birds are beautiful and I plan on breeding my crew to continue to have these dark layers in my flock.”
