    Curious if you all know. What would I get if I need the blue copper maran rooster with my cuckoo maran hens?

    I did, I told her immediately. all the hens had parasites too and swollen vents. Whoever had these babies before severely neglected them.

    Rosemary or RoseMurray? 😅

    I’m definitely not an expert but I’m getting a strong boy vibe from that beautiful bird!

    As good a guess as any at this point. Thanks. Hopefully some more people chime in.

    It’s hard to tell while it’s being held. Need to see saddle feathers. I’m inclined to think it’s a roo but can’t be certain with this pick.

    A friend of mine was just gifted this good looking fellow from a family who is moving away. They paid a pretty penny for him, the original family, not my friend. But we don’t know what he is. I was thinking RIR but then I saw the gray above his legs and that threw me off.

    Cuckoo maran behavior and add anomaly??

    I don’t think a Guinea could get in there. We don’t free range because the coyotes are so aggressive. We lose at least 3 birds a day when we free range, I dont know how anything could get to them.

    My barred rocks break eggs too. They just don’t get in my face. I also have other chickens that will peck the eggs on the carton as I collect. I guess I just don’t like how personal the Marans get.

    The one pic is from the outside of the “duplex”. On one side we have the RIR Flock, with rooster. There is a wall between them. It’s completely separate. There’s no way he could get near them. There’s two pics of the ladies. A pic of the chocolaty brown egg I cracked from the maran nesting...

    Cuckoo maran behavior and add anomaly??

    Strange things? We decided to get 6 cuckoo maran pullets from the local feed store last summer. We saw that people really loved the deep dark brown of the eggs. We decided we would eventually get a roo and sell them as hatching eggs as well. We have yet to get a roo for the ladies. They are...

    It appears I mostly enjoy taking pictures when they are ducklings. Ha.
  15. Q

    Hen just died in me, should I worry about the rest of the flock.

    Good idea shes been disposed of. I can’t handle a science experiment. I’m sure my boys could though. We feed them layer feed from the feed store and scratch from the feed store and table scraps. Mostly the vegetables and fruit trimmings and rinds. Sometimes they get spoiled with bread and pasta...
