Have tried everything else, so will try that. She was buddied up with a buff orpington that was younger than she was, but she was killed by a german shepherd. Will try buddying her up with another hen. Thanks for the suggestion.

She is by herself, as she cannot "get along" with the other hens. Every time I try to put her in with other hens, she ends up bleeding, and running from them constantly. When she free ranges, she goes off by herself, and all the others flock together somewhat.

I have a mean rooster that is such a beautiful bird, that I am keeping him in a large run with one hen and incubating their eggs until I get a new roo that is a pretty as he is, then he will be invited to someone's Sunday dinner. I would never be able to process an animal for meat, but might...

They have been together since hatching, but the marans do seem to be a little bit larger sized birds now than Sandy is (this new Hampshire, or new England, or whatever she is). She is very pretty, but just in the last week of so she has been running from the marans. and staying in the hutch...

I am new to BYC, but I have 3 black marans with feathered legs and copper colored feathers around the neck. They are 23 weeks old and I found 1 brown egg in the hutch this morning. First one, and there is also a New England red hen in with them and she is the same age, don't know which one...
