    Is this a blue copper Marans?

    I hatched this chick from eggs off eBay. They were BBS Marans. I did get two blacks, two splash, and this one. It does have feathered feet, but seems to have mostly black comb and skin. Is this a blue Marans? Or possibly a cemani Marans cross?

I’ll probably use sheet metal to wrap all the sides and doors, put advantec flooring in and paint it, put an angled sheetmetal roof with venting, add roost bars...

    How long will a hen stay broody?

    I have a RIR hen that has been broody for a 1.5 weeks now. I have some marans hatching eggs in the mail, will she stay broody long enough to hatch them? She has been sitting 24/7 for 10-12 days. I have been pulling infertile eggs from under her and leaving her a couple each day to sit on.

    Adding coop space to current setup

    Currently have a third coast design coop. I have 9 hens and a rooster, they fit comfortably. But I’d like to get another 5-10 hens. Thoughts on adding more coop space to this setup?

    Light Brahma Hen or Rooster

    We ordered 2 light Brahma hens with our chicks back in February. The whole time this chick has been much larger than the rest, and now is pestering the hens along with our BCM Rooster. The BCM had begun crowing, this Brahma has not. He/she is much larger in size and has larger/more red comb and...

    More ventilation on this coop?

    I’m in the process of building this coop, it already has openings under both ends of the roof, plus ventilation from the ridges of the metal roof. In summer i can open the windows to allow for more air flow. For winter, does this coop need more vents up high?
