Just adding my 2cents. I had the PA rep. visit my backyard flock because I was looking in NPIP. I just wanted to sell my marans hatching eggs/chicks outside PA. She was very nice but told me for small flock hobby type wanting to get cert. it's really not worth the $$. but I can still ship...

thank you for the fast reply. I'm glad its going to be a hen. no eggs or crowing yet but can't wait.

I raised my first batch of polish chicks. was hoping for more Tolbunts but my mail eggs didn't hatch many. Anyway, I did get 1 polish Tolbunt Roo, 1 polish Golden laced, 1 golden laced hen and 1 silver hen and this Polish Tolbunt Frizzy. I just can't tell if it's a roo or hen. also, if I...

thank you for the quick response.

Hello, I hatched some (of my own) marans and 2 of them i'm assuming are roosters. both are the same age,size and larger comb about 4-5 months. anyway, the one on the right is showing good signs of being a copper rooster. the one of the left is all black with only copper neck. before I get...

darn, that's what i thought 3 roos. i have 2 pure 1.5 yr black hens that lay nice blue eggs. So i'm wondering which of the 3 roos i should breed with and what would i get?

Hello, i posted this question before when my 3 ameraucana where young. Now they are well over 6-7 months and it looks like i have definitely 2 blue roos and maybe 1 splash roo(hoping for a hen at this point). (none of them are crowing yet). anyway, can someone tell for sure i have 3 roos or...

thanks i tried the calc. but don't have a clue what options to pick. When you say all barred offspring i'm assuming not pure offspring correct? I guess i should pass on the cuckoo roo. it was just a really pretty bird with lots of feathered feet.

A friend of mine has cuckoo marans and needs to trim out his young Cuckoo roosters. i currently have 4 BCM (1 roo) and 1 blue (hen) and 2 (hen) Wheatens as well as 4 ameracuans. If i get his roo will i be able to breed a female Cuckoo from my existing Marans or will they become mutts? obv...

thank you for everyone's help. I found 2 more pics. and cropped for close view. I guess i'll have to wait a bit more and see which ones lay eggs. hopefully one turns out a roo.

I'm at work now and that's all the pic. I took so far. i'll get more when I get home. I did notice 2 days ago the splash and dark blue starting a little fighting, not much but more like starring at each other in an aggressive manner. maybe just playing.

posted some other pic.

here's some closer pics. would love for the splash to be a roo, but hoping the other 2 are hens.

hello, I have 3 ameraucana about 4.5 months old. splash/light blue/darker blue. anyway, I'm thinking the splash is a roo because the tail is getting longer, but I'm really not sure. it's much harder to tell the ameraucana sex vs my Marans. any help would be great see pic. thanks

ok, i'll wait it out. and yes it's a French Copper Marans with feathered feet.

I have 4 pure black ameraucana and 1 all black Roo. they have all been in the same pen and I just hatched my first all blue eggs. they look to be pure black ameraucans except for 1 that's almost all black. now here's the concern I have. I do have a young BCM about 5 months that was out 1...

Hello, I have 3 young roosters and 6 marans hens(Blk/BCM/Blue). of the 3 roosters I have a BCM and 2 blues. I don't believe the blues are copper because they have more of a white color neck. They just started being aggressive and I only want to keep 1. All nice looking birds. The one blue is...

3.5 to 4 months. I have about 10 and most are blue with 3 BCM. Some of the pullet are all light blue without darker blue. are they good to keep for breeding? one blue cockerel is very tall with lots of feathered feet. his neck is more blonde then copper.

ok, thanks. I'm new to marans and this is my first with blues. what do you mean about breed them forward? should i not breed blues? even with a BCM?

thank you. I will just keep them
