Thank you very much

It took mine a good while to show copper. I thought the same thing. It will happen

Thank you... I find myself wondering what I missed our should have noticed. It's hard to only count 3 each night. I never thought I would get attached to a chicken much less love one. Much harder than I ever anticipated.

Ha! I'll consider myself lucky then. Yes. Sometimes she doesn't give me time to get settled or comfortable. She will walk up to and stand on my foot till I pick her up. Or to be carried tucked like a football. I joke with my husband. I can call her name from across the yard and she will...

Thank Oh, I am so sorry. But I would agree with Bamadude necropsy would be probably the only way to know. [/quote Thank you. It's heartbreaking...

Okiecritters.com will respond ASAP. Penney is great!

She looks just like mine! Mine is SO personal and loves human attention. She loves being held and often falls asleep while holding her. Contrary to everyone's belief, she has never pooped on me lol

Maybe someone will have an idea of what happened... One of my 2 french black copper marans suddenly died. She was 2 years old. Considerably smaller than her sister. I only had 4 hens and the other 3 seem healthy. But so did she the night before she died. I even gave her Canadian bacon as a...

So would you mind to post the outcome?

Thanks for the reply. It's just now getting to let's say 18 degrees at night. But very good to know it's just not my marans. I only have 2 of them so it's really noticeable when I don't have brown eggs ha!

And did everything go well with Bella?

So my marans have stopped laying. I mean stopped. I'm guessing due to the cold weather. My other breeds are doing just fine. Anyone else experiencing the same? They are under lights at night too.

W Wow they eat mice??? I think I would throw up if I witnessed that. Thank you and good to know. I was honestly worried it would spook them out of the coop and it's cold. Thank you for the reply.

So I found my first small mouse in the coop tonight. Will it spook the hens?
