    Aha! Mystery solved. What I thought was a maran hen is in fact a welsummer hen. Totally my mistake. Sorry for the confusion.

    Okay, so I need some help. I have what I thought were a pair of copper blue marans. I'm attaching a really bad (but the best I can do photo of them.) The chicks of this pair are nearly jet black with just the slightest touch of copper. What in the world have I got here? (This is probably...

    March hatch along

    So, I set a few eggs late yesterday. I'm a relative newbie at this and haven't had the best success in the past. I've decided to give the "dry" hatch a go and see if I can improve my hatch rate. A few Ameraucana, some welsummers (I love the way these guys look), and a few marans. Here's...
