    Cuckoo Maran or Barred Rock?

    I really had no intent of hurting any feelings, sorry for that. What i meant by that is, that even though they're beautiful birds, they're not up to the standard we work towards in marans. We breed them to represent a certain shape, colour, egg colour, etc. These animals you have are really nice...

    Cream legbar x splash marans

    I did, the hens are blue, with golden hackles (gold birchen), crested. The roos look like gold cuckoo marans, but crested.

    How many chickens in 56 square foot coop/run

    I'd say no more than 2. Here in europe, organic regulations say 4 m2 per chicken outside, and 6 chickens per m2 inside. Speaking from experience, this is about right. I just looked up how much 56 sq feet is,google says it's aout 5 m2, so i wouldn't put in more than 2.

    New Chicken Enthusiast..Trying to choose a Maran...

    You won't get very dark eggs from hatchery chickens. Look for specific breeders. Also hatcheries sell at ridiculous prices, small breeders will give you your money's worth

    French Wheaton maran

    There's no way to know the gender until the chest feathers come out. If the chest feathers are black, it's a rooster. If they're brown (wheaten coloured), it's a female.

    Quiet rooster breeds

    From my experience, campine/braekel roosters are very quiet

    Golden Salmon Marans??

    Which is why i suggested campine cross. The coloring is dominant, so if crossed to a rather bulky chicken, you'd get this. The coloring is definitely campine

    Quality of Wheaten Marans Cockerels

    All that white... They really aren't supposed to show white feathers, exept for maybe a few of the flight feathers. Wouldn't breed them if they were mine, although they're good specimens to put with a layer flock :)

    Golden Salmon Marans??

    A wheaten x black copper marans is supposed to have black copper coloring, so those couldn't have been purebred. My guess about the bird in the picture? Gold campine with bad coloring or gold campine cross.

    Has anyone seen this before??

    I just feed them regular layer mix from the local store, no supplemental calcium, no laying hormones. What's calcium deposits? Does that mean too much calcium?
