Okay I have set 13 Marans 7 True Blue/Cochin crosses and 18 Easter Eggers/Marans mix for Easter hatch. I have been so busy with putting a roof on my Rooster Coop, moving a small hutch with one of my Marans out of a stall so I can use it for a new horse I haven't had time to get on and...

I will be setting some Marans from my own hens as well as others . Not sure how many as of right now.

My rooster are all going into their teen age years. They are all attacking each other. My BCM and my Blue Bar rooster. Marans and Blue Bars are in different coops. The Marans have grown up together and there are plenty of hens for everyone. They had bloody comb and wattles yesterday...

Better pictures would help. Do they have feathered legs? what color are the legs? Where do you live? How old are they?

I would try some electrolytes in her water and see if this helps. She may have gotten cold during transport and is not able to get warmed up. It is hard to know just what is wrong without seeing her and running tests.

Yes birds can be so stressed from being scared that they can pass away because of it. I had almost 80 chickens killed by a neighborhood dog on new years eve several years ago and about a week or so later lost a couple more birds died. Stress does funny things to birds as well as humans. All...

You can not breed sex link to sex link and get a sex link. If you breed a barred rooster to a unbarred female you will get barred males and unbarred females, every time I believe. There is no way to be sure until they are older. I have trouble since I'm just getting started on sexing...

They are in deed ready for the big house. I do not see a ramp in the big house hopefully it is a solid ramp so they have a easy time getting in and out. Good luck and don't let them out to free range anymore unless they are under watchful eyes.

I don't use medicated chick starter unless I hatch the chick as I all ways get my vaccinated for coccd., and Merricks from a hatchery. I have read several places and reference that say once a chick has eaten about one pound of starter ( about the time they are three week old) they can be...

I agree with QueenMisha with one exception. You only need starter for about the first two to three weeks. If they are three weeks now you should be fine with the gamebird starter. Heat should be used only at night. At three weeks they should be pretty feathered and can take the lower temps...

Make sure you buy two lamps so you will have a spare if t happens again. At two weeks they should be fine for a night. Are they inside the house in a heated room or outside in a garage this will make a difference. If outside they will need some kind of heat. Inside the house they should be...

Thanks Amelia Egghart I checked out the thread but it is a bit hard to read because he used gene code instead of f1 , f2, and f3. I'm just starting to learn this subject but I will study it and learn.

Hey Chooks man and Red Banks I know this is a Marans thread but I have a question on breeding. I have Dominique Rooster in with my Easter Eggers their kids are now just laying. They are in a seperate coop with all brown layer so I know the eggs are theirs. They are laying olive colored egg...
