  merry Christmas one and all!
We had an unexpected addition to the family in the form of a rescued one eyed,mangled leg,and bashed headed maran hen.  She is a stunning (my husband thinks that calling any hen stunning is a bit of a stretch... ) hen,and do gentle and friendly that unlike our feisty crew of 6 ex-bats,the kids will just sit and fuss her,she laps up the attention.
My 6yr old has decided he might like her to go with him to a few shows (his aunt shows her ferrets). My question is, does he need any membership to anything? What or how? Erm,in short HELP!!,
We are in east Sussex if that is of any relevance!
Hoping Santa brought you your wishes and no visits from fantastic mr fox

Hope you had a good day.  Sorry I can't help with info but it would be great to see some pics.  Sounds like your rescue hen is a real cutie.

Hi there - first maybe check that she is a Marans.  This is the Marans Club website
www.themaransclub.co.uk which has lots of pictures of what Marans should look like .  

I am not an expert on showing, but if you think she is a Marans you can enter her in various classes at shows.  You don't have to be a member of The Marans Club to enter her in shows, but if you are and win a card at a show you can send it through to the Marans Club Rosette Secretary and she will send a special Marans Club rosette

Hiya
Thanks for responding!
She is definitely a maran in as much as looks the part and she came from a breeder in east Sussex. She definitely looks the part although slightly squiffy through being bashed on the noggin and blinded!
I will look into the maran club, thankyou for that  :blink:
