    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    The eggs, so far come in a variety of darkness. But, most of them have beautiful little dark specks on them. Right off we have 3 hens that are brooding. Pretty encouraging!! I would love to add a dark Maran to get darker eggs but, I'm not too concerned with it.

    Still no eggs...

    Try layer feed also. But if it's cold, it does slow them down. I get eggs on a regular basis now. But, it took a few weeks for them to really get comfortable. Could also have to do with age.

    Still no eggs...

    About the laying, when we brought our larger hens home it took about 8 days for them to start laying in their new home.

    Still no eggs...

    Normal behavior. When I first brought mine home, the bigger ones really bullied the younger, smaller ones. They are figuring out their "pecking" order so to speak. Also, if you spread out the feed for a few days out on the ground they will all be able to peck at it, at their leisure. Then...

    Thank you so much for your kind words. :) Here's the outside...I wrote a story about our coop building experience last year. We had a great time with it. It's a children's playhouse kit, in the design of an old school house, that we converted to a coop, to which we added an enclosed run. Hence...

    i have wondered about a large amount of chickens and the Sweet PDZ. I am in the process of building a large coop 8'x16' and doing a large enclosed run, cause we have lost too many to raccoons recently. So, we are building Fort Knox. My friends call it the Chicken Palace. So, anyway, enough...

    So Trish, I am guessing yours are about 12" high? [/quote I love the inside of this coop. Do you have any pics of the outside? I'm working on ours right now. It's much larger 16' X 8' and I'm looking for ideas on venting, painting, and roosting area.

    I need help identifying the breeds of a Rooster & a Pellet....Help please!!

    Well, I finally caught one of the hens ripping at Rocky's neck and pulling out his feathers. She has actually cut him. Silly rooster sits and puts up with it. I'm shocked cause he usually won't allow silliness from the girls. Any ideas on how to stop her from defrocking him?

    So, why wouldn't you have to clean it more frequently? Wouldn't the smell get horrible? I'm new at this and we are constructing our coop right now to put our sweet babies in soon. So, I'm very interested in anyones help with this too.
