    male or female

    I am curious if anyone out there has any experience with jubilee orpingtons? I am curious if the roosters are really as mellow as I have read and also if they can tolerate North Carolina summers?

    I am trying to decide which of my bcm chicks to keep... Can someone please tell me if white feathers on the wings are normal, desireable, and if so how much white should there/can there be?

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    Thank you so much. The pictures are really helpful. These are hopefully females. They are black copper marans. So when you say too dark do you mean not enough copper and too much white will give you too much copper?

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    I just received a group of day old fbcm chicks and they have different amounts of white/cream on them. One has very little. I am not going to keep all of them so I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the color as chicks is any indication of the color as adults. Is there a way for me to tell...

    Is it a bad idea to paint a chicken coop red?

    I am wondering if it is bad to paint my chicken coop red? I have 2 roosters and have noticed that one gets pretty riled up and attacks me if I wear a red coat into the chicken pen. I have to finish painting their coop, which is inside their pen, which means they will be able to see the color...

    That's too funny! My 2 maran roosters do exactly the same thing! Except they will actually both mate with the poor hen, but the secondary rooster is polite and stands by and waits his turn! I love these boys! They are not very aggressive with me either. The most they do is occasionally peck me...

    Struggling with attaching an image so please excuse me if this posts multiple times... I would love some feedback from those who are familiar with the breed on my 2 French Marans roosters. I don't think my blue "Oliver" has correct conformation and am thinking that his comb would be a fault...

    I live near Raleigh, North Carolina and will be looking for a few French black copper marans pullets this spring to add to our little flock which includes 2 French marans roosters -a black copper and a blue copper (who are very sweet boys and good buddies, by the way :) Does anyone know of any...

    Hello and need help!

    So if you use sand how do you maintain it? I was planning to use the deep litter method but it doesn't seem like that is going to work since they eat all their shavings and won't let it get "deep". If I go with sand what kind do I need to get and do I have to clean the pen everyday like a cat...

    Hello and need help!

    Hi all. I am new to this group and to chicken "parenting" and I need some help. My chickens have been eating their pine shavings and I mean ALL of their shavings! To the point that they are not eating enough actual food. I give them Nutrena laying pellets, scratch grains, and fresh vegetables...
