Yes they both were.

That sounds great. The dog crate should work in the pen and same with the bathroom. Winter chicks are tough!

Maran *

Thanks for the replies, but we hatched this one and have the mother and father. So there's no way it could be anything but a Marian. Unless a roo from another farm came over in the middle of the night and let himself in! It's a stumper. I don't get it!

Hmm thats a tough one. We are in Ohio and having similar weather, and same issue with our babies. They are 12 weeks old though and still in transition phase. They are not silkies though. Silkies, to some, are known for not being are cold hardy as others because they dont have the typical...

another picture...hard to get a good one!

We hatched two of our own eggs for the first time! (well, started with 8 but only 2 hatched). The mother was a black copper maran, and the Roo a Blue Maran. The two chicks came out total opposite. One all black, large comb (they were born in Oct), and 99% positive a big ol' roo. The...

Oh my gosh thats awful. Are you planning to get more? We were really wanting to breed them, but the hen never even got to laying eggs and now the rooster is upset and not eating.

Thank you anyways allen wranch. Appreciate it!!!

THANK YOU so much for all of your help. Waiting to hear from the FB group and put a word out on the thread. THanks!!!!!!

I just lost my Spitzhauben hen a couple hours ago to an unknown cause. Now my Roo is alone and needs new Spitz friends! Anyone have any available? Here is a pic of my hen who passed. LOVED her headdress :)

Awesome. I just sent the request to join. When we first got the other hens, this roo wasn't full grown yet and those hens were chasing him around! Which is why him and his honey (the now dead hen) went into their own coop. I suppose we could try it again? It is a newly formed flock with 6...

Thank you for your info. I am on Facebook. How do I find the Spitz club? I have been looking for more for months now because I just love them, but they are so hard to find. And I would prefer to get a pullet and not have to hatch my eggs on my own. My roo is next to another coop, but even...

I am so sad. Went outside this morning to do the usual "chicken chores" of feeding, watering, giving treats, checking each bird's weight and crops to make sure they are eating etc, and everyone was great. My Spitzhaubens (1 hen and 1 roo) are separate from the other chickens and they were...

Ok. We will candle. There's a few different hatch dates still incubating. The oldest eggs are on day 26 and the most recent are on day 22 now. Are they ok only having a total of 2 or should we try and get a few more?

No new nothing! No peeps, pips or movement. Thinking there's nothing left alive at this point. Should I do anything about the chicks picking on one another? Or really-the one picking on the other one? Or is this normal behavior? They NEVER STOP CHIRPING! It's so loud! But they are sweet :)

We haven't candled since before 18 day and they looked good from what us newbies could tell. They are copper Maran eggs so they're so dark!! Chicks are still chirping like crazy. Put a stuffed animal in there for them to snuggle with and they were only scared! Now the newest chick keeps pecking...

They are so cute! We had his little sibling hatch last night so now he isnt alone! But the newest one wont stop chirping....and LOUDLY. Is that a bad sign or typical chick behavior? We've tried holding her and she still chirps loudly. Reading other posts on here...seems like the answers are...

Thank you! He is precious :) We did dip his beak and he had one drink but is not interested. Crushed the food and used my finger to show and hes not interested in that either. His little dropping was all watery and green. He seems strong, intrigued by everything in his brooder box and VERY...
