Are these even EE's? And are they pullets? These came from eggs that we hatched earlier this year that were purchased as EE eggs. I could only get one picture of the darker bird...[/IMG][/IMG]
Hi...I'm new to marans and absolutely love them. I hatched several a couple of months ago and am hoping for some advise on the color of a chick I kept. I kept 2 pullets and a cockerel. The I am pretty sure they are blue coppers but I would like advise on the color of the roo I kept. It's the...
Thank you...I have 3 of them and two look exactly like your chick. The other one is the chick standing tall in the pic I posted. The darker one is gorgeous...so hoping it's a pullet:)
After a major (110) degree ha heat wave, my girls haven't laid in 2 weeks. Today, we got 4 eggs total from our 5 hens. The speckled one is LONG and skinny and the chicken was obviously very proud of herself. She made her happy sound for probably 10 minutes afterwards!
Whatever they are, they are so pretty:) I have three that are 2 weeks old now and can't wait to be able to figure out what sex they are. There is one that is obviously much prettier and darker than the other two so I'm hoping there will be 2 pullets. If I have two pullets and one cockerel, I...
We switched from pine shavings to sand. The shavings work great as long as it's dry. The sand just seems to keep the flies and odor at bay . My run has 1x2 welded wire on the floor
Me too...but not for a while here now. The chicks we have now are growing so very ow and I know it's from this ridiculous heat wave. I live on a farm and my Dad and Brother raise cattle... The calves they had born recently are lagging behind with my biddies. Too hot to even grow....
I just realized whenever I try to type Ameracauna, my phone auto corrects it to americauna. I have had a few replies that quickly let me know there was no such thing as an americauna....guess someone needs to let APPLE know this:) Thanks to this group, I know there is no such thing as an...
Oh ok...well I appreciate all of the help. I hope I get some colored eggs from at least one if them, but if not, I will take whatever they leave me:) I'm adding pics of another chic we hatched in a different hatch with eggs from the same person but a different Roo. This roo is supposedly a blue...
Thanks...we have only had chickens for a little over a year, but this little girl had a true love for her chicks. She talked me in to buying 4 chicks for Easter last year and that was where the addiction started. Over the past few months, we have hatched 5 batches of chicks in our incubator and...
I've been fighting the heat with them for over a week now...it was 110 here today with the humidity and it's been this way for well over a week. I let mine free range during the day so they can dust bathe and hang out in their favorite shady spots although their entire coop/run is covered with a...
Wow...they do look a lot alike. I have had so many people ask me what she is, but I really can only go on what I was td her egg was:) I bought EE eggs and we had a combination of so many completely different looking chicks. The pullets all have that stubby butt look:) I love black chickens so I...
