    Is this a blue copper Marans?

    I hatched this chick from eggs off eBay. They were BBS Marans. I did get two blacks, two splash, and this one. It does have feathered feet, but seems to have mostly black comb and skin. Is this a blue Marans? Or possibly a cemani Marans cross?

    Converting kennel frame to coop

    I have this steel angle frame that was supposed to be a dog kennel that never made it there. I’m thinking of converting it to a coop. I’ll probably use sheet metal to wrap all the sides and doors, put advantec flooring in and paint it, put an angled sheetmetal roof with venting, add roost bars...

    How long will a hen stay broody?

    I have a RIR hen that has been broody for a 1.5 weeks now. I have some marans hatching eggs in the mail, will she stay broody long enough to hatch them? She has been sitting 24/7 for 10-12 days. I have been pulling infertile eggs from under her and leaving her a couple each day to sit on.
