They are 4 months old.

I was sure this was a hen until very recently.. All of my roosters have big combs and wattles. But this "hen" is looking suspicious to me.. Thoughts? 4 months old. It's the only one of the chickens with messed up tail feathers. Any possibility this is a hen? Thanks in advance!

Hatched May 9th. Are they roosters?

Hatched 5/9. I bought two groups.. One from Blue Copper lines and another group the breeder was calling "Lemon Cuckoo".. The first rooster is black (or maybe dark blue??). The other two are from the Lemon cuckoo line. I would take $10 each for any of these guys pictured. I also have a...

Wondering what color these guys are considered. (They are both roosters, right? lol- I'd love to hear otherwise!) Hatched 5/9. I bought them as day olds, Lemon Cuckoo and Blue Copper.. I feel like the blue is more lavender.. He sure is pretty though.. Then there's this guy.. Also in the...

Hatched 5/9. I have 3 BLRW.. I was hoping for a hen, but all of them seem to have the same comb develpment.. One has a more hen-like tail though..

I'm looking for a very simple design for a small coop that can easily be built and be moved easily. I haven't built anything like this myself.. This will house 2-3 chickens and will be multi purpose.. I intend for it to temporarily house the chickens, and I hope they will dig up the ground for...

It's been a couple years since I gave up my flock because I moved to the city.. I'm getting a little place in the country and I'm interested in Blue/Splash Marans.. Does anyone have a list of sources? I also like the wheatens alot (I had a couple mystery chicks from a black copper line that...

I have a Little Giant Incubator and Egg Turner for sale. I used it once and they've been cleaned out and are in orginal boxes with instructions. $70 for both. Pick up in southwest Missouri

Since I'm moving soon, I need to sell my chickens. I have 12 Marans in many colors.. I put my backyard flock together from various sources including a background of lines from Wade Jeane, Krebs, Valentine, and others I can't remember... I picked lines that would lay dark eggs. The 12 Marans...

I started my flock focusing on blue feathered chickens and I have some really pretty ones. There are two EE hens that have been laying awhile- one is blue, the other is a gorgeous light blue. The rest are four month olds that I raised. One is an Olive Egger I created by crossing a Marans hen...

My Black Copper Marans rooster doesn't look quite like I think he should... Looked very nice when younger, but as he's gotten older, he developed strange traits.. He seems kind of mismatched and has earned the nickname "Frank" (Frankenstein). He seems to be a bit top heavy and sits down often...

Alright, so when I bought this "pullet" chick I was excited because it hatched from a Marans egg.. They didn't know who the father was because they hatched eggs shortly after getting the hen from another person... We know it has some ameraucana/easter egger in it because of the beard.. I'm...

I was looking at my first batch of chicks and noticed that one chick's rear does not look like the others.. then I realized that chicks have tails, and this one doesn't appear to have one? Does this mean it will look like an Araucana? I have heard of Araucana not have a tail, but I guess I...

Last night I discovered that one of my Marans/Ameraucana cross eggs was pipped underneath.. When I rolled it over, I saw that it had a big hole, 3/4" long and half an inch wide.. couldn't find any info on this, so I decided that he had been trying to get out for awhile and it might have gotten...

Anyone have ideas for lowering humidity in an incubator? I'm getting 64% humidity in both the room and the bator (running dry). The rest of the house is more humid! Just put the eggs in one day ago.. I'm hoping they aren't compromised because of the humidity. Any ideas??

This is my first attempt at hatching.. I'm using a Little Giant with turner. Just put the eggs in last night. I've taken the plugs out of the top and the humidity is steady at 65%.. Is this too high? The temperature is also steady.. although It's hard to tell what it is.. I bought a digital...

I had the chance to get some odd colored chicks that hatched from black copper marans and they were so pretty I couldn't resist... I'm trying to determine if they are a recognizeable color or just pretty sports who should lay dark eggs.. Hopefully they are all pullets??.. The smallest/youngest...

After weeks of thinking this was a rooster because it was suggested to me that it is, I'm still unsure... The rooster in back is the same age and from the same hatch.. This splash just isn't looking any more like a roo to me.. Looks far more like the girls (and is the same size) than the two...

I was curious if anybody has ideas on the genetics for this rooster's color.. If I bred him to solid black hens, any ideas what I might get? Hoping for something other than black.. A friend of mine has two EE roosters that look like this too and knows someone else who picked out chicks with...
