    I thought I had a maran.... ID help?

    Our olive egger finally gave us a green egg. She lays large green eggs! We still have no idea what our chicken we thought was a maran is. It has veen suggested to us that she could be a olive egger x barred rock mix. This kind of makes sense because we got her from the same place we got our...

    I thought I had a maran.... ID help?

    We were told the one on the far left is a olive egger. She has a beard, blue feet, a pea comb but no feathers on her feet.

    I thought I had a maran.... ID help?

    Thanks! She is supposed to be an olive egger. We have no idea. We seem to have all mutt chickens. We love them all the same. The only one we are sure of is the speckled Sussex, although she has a comb and waddles and red but no eggs. Who knows! Lol

    I thought I had a maran.... ID help?

    I have a backyard flock of 4. We got them as one and two day old chicks. What we thought we had seems to be different from what we actually have. We thought we had some type of Maran. We have tried to identify her as she grew but I am not sure now if she is even a maran. Maybe a Maline? Maybe...

    Painless peepers... Help!

    There are 4 of them. They are about 22 weeks old. We raised them from day old chicks together. Their coop is 4ftx4ft Their run is 7ftx9ft but they roam the backyard all day when we are home. (My sister is currently home almost every day). The Orpington is the one plucking feathers and she...

    Painless peepers... Help!

    I have a naughty chicken that has just started laying but is now pulling out the feathers of my chicken on the bottom of the flock. I have 4 urban chickens. I ordered some painless peepers online and got them in the mail yesterday. My sister and I attempted to apply them today but my heart broke...

    I also have not noticed any feather eating. The run is just full of her feathers. Our top chicken actually roosts on the outside of the roost on the far right. (There is a plexi glass window there) then the 2nd up chicken beside her. Then the 3rd and finally her at the far left. There is a...

    Olive egger comb

    That is helpful. They do not get too many treats. They do have free range of the fenced in yard when we are home and around to keep an eye on them. They ha e oyster shells as free choice as well as grit and their feed. They have 3 feed stations and 2 water ( 5 nipples total) My concern was if...

    Olive egger comb

    Thanks for the reply. Our coop is 16sq ft plus 2 nesting boxes. Our run is 54 sq ft plus under the coop. We wanted to make sure it was large enough for all 4 of them when we built it. I am adding a picture on the label on the bag of the feed we are using. My fear is mayne she is sick but im...

    Olive egger comb

    so, she is missing quite a few tail feathers. We have checked hee for mites and fleas, put DE all over her, given them things to scratch at, hung treats to keep them busy. I believe our top chicken may be pulling at her feathers. I have seen her do it quickly a few times and she moves out of...

    Olive egger comb

    Her tail feathers look off also. I'm not sure if in just being paranoid. Maybe the others are bored and picking on her?
