    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    Quote: Your #1 is a boy, and he is not pure for blue birchen with the copper leaking through. #2 is a girl. Thanks Marquisella. You seem pretty sure! I guess we'll be looking for a new home for him. Hopefully we can find a good one. Anyone in the Silicon Valley area interested in him?

    Barred Plymouth Rock – 6 weeks old – Pullet?

    Barred Plymouth Rock – 6 weeks old – Pullet? This lovely chick is 6 weeks old today and was sexed, so we are pretty sure she is a girl but it never helps to get a visual confirmation now that she’s older since we cannot keep roosters. So what do you think? Thanks! She is the friendliest of our...
