    Quote: Well, they look like they could have come from BCM stock. They just aren't very good. I don't see any color on the hens, and way too much color on the roo. It's hard to tell conformation from these pics - I don't really see much for the tails. I don't really think I'd have paid $8...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    Hello all! I posted about ten pages back about one of my BCM's not looking like a BCM. Several of you commented that none of my chickens look like BCM's. I wanted to post some clearer pictures and try to get a final answer from all you BCM experts. If they are truly not BCM's then I will...

    Hen flies right at me?

    She doesn't seem like she's trying to be mean but I am new to chickens and their behavior. She usually only does it when the sun starts to go down and she 'settles down'. She jumps up on things and gives me that look where you just know she's looking to jump at me. I am hoping it's out of...

    Hen flies right at me?

    I have one black sex-link that will, on occasion, start following me around. If I stop she looks at me really strange and will sometimes just fly right at my chest. She also has been known, in the coop, to try and jump on me, I think she's trying to jump on my head or shoulder? I can't figure...

    Interesting! This chicken has ALWAYS had a red comb. But it's never grown at all proportional to it's growth. Compared to the FBCM Roo which has a massive comb. The FBCM has been crowing for a couple weeks now but I have yet to see this weird blue chicken crow. Very odd. Maybe I'll try to get...

    I am hoping someone can help me identify this bird. I bought 4 FBCM week old chicks two months ago. One, for sure, has turned out to be a Rooster. Two others look pretty close to the same, almost totally black at this age. One, however, is a slightly different color and has these puffy looking...

    French Black Copper Marans - Not friendly?

    Darn. Our chickens are our pets. My sexlinks were really sweet baby chicks as I remember. Maybe I don't remember correctly. Hopefully they calm down.

    French Black Copper Marans - Not friendly?

    Coming from my first three chickens, which were sexlinks and a RIR, I just got 4 baby FBCM chicks. Holy cow, these FBCM's make my other chickens seem like the most docile creatures on earth in comparison. They are flighty, aggressive and mean. If we get anywhere near them they flip out and look...

    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    Hello, I just registered an account here to post this. Hopefully it's the beginning of a long relationship with this forum! Just to introduce myself, we just got 3 chicks at the first of May. We have never had chickens before, but the house we bought had a coop so we thought we'd give it a...
