Okay, so I hatched out about 15 Black and Blue Copper Marans around the first of February, and now have 5. We kept them inside Until they were about 10 weeks old, where we moved them to a rabbit hutch. A few days after moving them outside I had a few die, and noted that it looked like their back...
Went to an auction today and bought 21 chicks labeled "assorted marans" for .50 each - I know there are some Cuckoo's in there, mostly cockerels (the one I was for sure was a pullet died *sob*) but these others I'm not so sure about? I did some researching and they look more like Welsummer...
