    male or female

    I am curious if anyone out there has any experience with jubilee orpingtons? I am curious if the roosters are really as mellow as I have read and also if they can tolerate North Carolina summers?

    Thank you so much. The pictures are really helpful. These are hopefully females. They are black copper marans. So when you say too dark do you mean not enough copper and too much white will give you too much copper?

    I just received a group of day old fbcm chicks and they have different amounts of white/cream on them. One has very little. I am not going to keep all of them so I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the color as chicks is any indication of the color as adults. Is there a way for me to tell...

    Is it a bad idea to paint a chicken coop red?

    Struggling with attaching an image so please excuse me if this posts multiple times... I would love some feedback from those who are familiar with the breed on my 2 French Marans roosters. I don't think my blue "Oliver" has correct conformation and am thinking that his comb would be a fault...
