Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help with our favorite pullet, Hei Hei. She is an 8 week old Splash Marans.

Hi! How did it go with the blue favacauna? I have two that I'm watching, at 7 weeks. In my experience they are developing much more slowly than their Marans hatchmates.
To the last poster- I've had great luck with Craigslist.org, there is a farm and garden section, or a FREE section, if you dont care about getting paid for them.
I have an acre and a half, and live on a busy road. Luckily though, I have neighbors behind me and beside me with woods, where my...

I put it in the other thread too, but it just makes me laugh. My husband's friend really thought that all eggs were brown, but at the "chicken factory" (chicken fairy's house maybe?) they bleach the brown eggs and that is how they become white.
And my MIL asked me about egg colors one...
My husband's friend came over last weekend and was SHOCKED that we eat the eggs we get. He was like "Dont you have to DO something to them?" He really thought you had to bleach them to turn them white before you eat them. He wouldn't take any of the eggs I offered him to take home and try.
Hi, I apologise if this has already been discussed ad nauseum.
My flock is all together in one coop, spanning from six weeks to well over a year. They all go after the same bowl of food when I feed, even when I try to seperate them. I have chick starter/grower 20%, and the regular layer feed...
does your Marans look like this?
She hatched from a black copper egg, and I was told she is a black copper with non "standard" colors... what would you call that pattern on her?
all I took from those responses was GIRL
Just kidding- thanks for responding... so you think it is just a non "standard" black copper color? I looked up golden cuckoos and they seem to be lighter- these are really dark coppery lines. "She" is getting copper feathering on the back of her neck...
I'll try to upload a better picture, it takes forever on my computer for some reason.
She (I hope) hatched out of a dark Marans egg, supposed to be black copper, but his color is strange- he is striped with black and copper all over. I have one other chick that hatched, she is all black with...
Oh no! I'm sorry!
I had a man cleaning up my neighbors yard asking about my hens. I told him I didn't want to get rid of them, but knew someone who was selling red sex-links that were laying for $10 each... and he laughed like that was way too much
Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain :
I'd be willing to bet there are more pullets in there.
Too many is when you can't keep up with the poo, the feed bill, etc... I would not want to be near that basement in a week, maybe even a day!
I'm about an hour away from there and I think I can already start to...
