    I wanted to get a Rooster from my flock of Black Copper Marans, to get some different genetics and not have brothers breeding with sisters ect. Someone gave me this rooster when he was younger and he definitely had the colors, but now I am noticing he does not have the feathers on his legs...

    What predator could have done this

    I knew you couldnt kill a bird of prey, but I try and be a nice guy and move it and ya know.... Either way I cant imagine a way to catch it in the first place. I am getting some netting to put around the top of my pen and hopefully they just go look for easier prey someplace else.

    What predator could have done this

    Brave little cuss! I wonder if hawks are "migratory" I mean if you catch one and release it far far away, will it already be back where you caught it before you even get back.

    What predator could have done this

    I had lost another real young one earlier in the year. I narrowed it down to a feral cat or Hawk. It was a real mess and it was in a enclosed area of the pen like an 8x8 area with a tiny brooder. I didnt think a hawk could fly down in such a small area. I assumed it was a cat as the size...

    White marans

    He is very timid, but all my Marans are. He seems less timid latley but wont come to me. Not like my Buff opingtons which run to you and jump up in yoiur arms when enteing the pen. I have another Black Copper Manan that doea not have any tail feathers. I am assuming the WHite pulled them out.

    White marans

    I have a white marans rooster. I have read that they are rare. Does anyone know if they have any value. I dont want any rooster and would like to sell it, preferably to someone that may want it for show ect.

    Chicks do not want to go in brooder.

    I have 9 copper marans that I built a small coop / brooder separate from the main coop for. They have been living in it for aprox 10 days. Last night when I went to lock them in for the night I found them outside the fence all huddled together. I noticed them earlier in the day in their pen...

    Questions from a rookie

    I am a first timer raising chickens. They are 12 weeks old . I purchased 6 RI Reds and 6 Rose Brown Leghorns. 2 of the leghorns were roosters. They were constantly crowing, I don’t know if they were competing. They didn’t attack me because I learned the holding trick, but my 6 year olds they...
