    Cuckoo Marans + Blue Marans =???

    I have a cuckoo Marans cockerel and a solid blue Marans pullet, I got the cuckoo Marans cockerel by accident he happened to be in the same pen as the black copper Marans the breeder had, I am debating on selling this cuckoo, but before I sell him I want to understand how genetics work in...

    Cuckoo Marans he or she???

    OK yeah I was leaning towards rooster until somebody mentioned something about the feather pattern which I’m not familiar with cuckoos so I wasn’t sure if there is a telltale sign with his feathers! Thanks!

    Black Copper Marans sexing impatience :) (Pictures)

    Well here’s to week number 3! I’ve heard that week number three should be the week where the sexes should become apparent but I’m still struggling with two of them.... 3 is definitely a cockerel, and 4 is definitely a pullet. Number one is a cuckoo Marans, if it were a BCM I would have guessed a...

    Sexing Black Copper Marans chicks

    I’m in the same boat as you :) They change so drastically in such a short period of time and waiting for week 3 that’s when people say that they can tell the most. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/black-copper-marans-sexing-impatience-pictures.1229481/page-2#post-19745456

    So it’s been 1 week since my original post, here is how they are developing so far, with the revelation that number one is a cuckoo Marans lol. Their combs are starting to grow, and 1 and 4 are just starting to grow in their tail feathers, lots of wing feathers, and they are much harder to get...

    Cockerel walking drunk and laying down more than normal, please advise

    If I treat him with corid can I also give him vitamins? I thought that corid was a vitamin inhibitors? Would it still work? As I’ve been watching him he has has a few runny movements not regularly but here and there so I want to try it.

    Cockerel walking drunk and laying down more than normal, please advise

    Thank you, so far I have given him some water with probiotics and electrolytes in it, he drank a lot so hopefully that helps! The breeder I got him from said that she vaccinated for mareks normally so I really hope it is not that, I’ve experienced coccidioses before and have corrid on hand but...

    Cockerel walking drunk and laying down more than normal, please advise

    I have a roughly eight week old black copper Marans cockerel who is suddenly acting like he can’t walk in a straight line he’s stumbling and laying down. He is in with three other same aged chicks who are showing no signs like this. His poop seems normal but he is lethargic and continues to fall...

    So I emailed the breeder on the possibility that I got a cuckoo, and she said that her cuckoos came out of her blacks so it’s totally possible.....so I guess I’ll have to do some reading up on cuckoo Marans now I have no idea how their genetics work or how it could’ve came out of a black so if...
