Feathers missing, neck and top of head. Bullying?
Hi! I have three chickens, two easter eggers (red and black) and one Olive Egger (grey). My red EE is a cross beak. From the middle of winter I noticed she was losing feathers on her neck. Our chicken vet was coming for beak trims at the time, noticed the feather loss, but couldn't tell me...- JuniperGreen

"Majesty maran" but laying blue
Yeah, she was the only black chick in her tub. Same with her sister, my red EE. She was the last in her bin. The rest of the chicks looked like chipmunks, yellow, or grey like my olive egger. The lady had said there might have been mixed up chicks in the bin. We didn't expect to leave the store...- JuniperGreen

"Majesty maran" but laying blue
That's a first I've heard of that! The other commentor mentioned EE, which my red chicken is. There was a bin of "coloured layers", but no specific list of what was stocked that day. I'm looking now at the supplier website that they were stocking from and Prairie bluebell is on there, so it's...- JuniperGreen

"Majesty maran" but laying blue
The store we bought from listed her as one, but really, the lady working that day didn't seem that confident about anything 😂 and we have never raised chickens before so we just accepted it- JuniperGreen

"Majesty maran" but laying blue
Hii! I was advised to post here, because my "midnight majesty maran" was the last of my chickens to start laying eggs, and she has been laying BLUE! In my first thread it was suggested by her look that she may be mixed. So I'm hoping to get some clarity here. I don't mind her being mixed, we...- JuniperGreen

Black majesty maran laying BLUE?
Our EE has been laying for about a month already, I also expected blue from her, but we've been seeing (in real time) her laying in the box and taking her eggs since she started, we know the pink are hers. Trust me, it would make so much more sense to us too, but our 'maran' has been our late...- JuniperGreen

Black majesty maran laying BLUE?
Oh! We're totally fine with her not being purebred. We just bought three chicks in different colours, and the lady working the chicks in the store that day wasn't very educated, so she gave us her best guess on what they were. I've assumed this whole time we were waiting for a dark brown egg to...- JuniperGreen

Black majesty maran laying BLUE?
Hi! I'll probably make an introduction thread another time, but today we're so confused that I had to do this one first. We got 3 chicks (EE, olive egger, black maran) last year for the first time. Neither my husband or I had any previous exp, though I have had many types of animals my whole...- JuniperGreen
