My barred rock and french marans all do the squat and have red combs and wattles. One of the golden comet's has recently gotten bigger and brighter red in the last few days.

So, July 4th I got my first egg! Since I have gotten 3 dark brown (which I am assuming is my french cuckoo marrens). Today I just found a lighter egg!!!! So I think there is a new layer. I have 2 french marrens and 1 barred rock of the same age. I also have 2 golden comets that are about 1...

Update... They boys left yesterday. I have a friend that took them.

Good to know! They are coming up on the 4 mo age!!!! So then it would appear there are 2 BR and 1 FCM

What is the difference? The roo's look the same. I have 3 roo's from a straight run pick from TSC. All 3 have the same barred color but 2 have yellow legs and 1 has more of a grey leg color...

All 3 are barred, the only difference is the legs. 2 boys thst have the same leg color (yellow), 1 has a short tail stack vs 1 is long. The other boy has a long tail but grey legs.

I can't tell which are the barred rocks and which are the French cuckoo marans! They look quite alike, only difference is one of the boys have different color legs

Is it safe to say the hens that are the same ages as the boys will be ready to lay soon? I will make sure to keep them separate!

I'm quite fond of them. They are so very pretty! The one is rather nice to the girls and cuddles with them! Lol I told my hubby we may need to build a bigger hen house and give the boys the coop I bought from TAC. Which I now know is too small for 8 hens!

That's what I was afraid of. I removed all of them early this am and set up a makeshift bachelor pad. I took 2 dog crated and combined them. My hubby and son keeps calling the boys "freezer bird"!

The older ones are 13-15 weeks old. The younger ones are about 10 weeks now. The boys started crowing last week.

I bought 8 from TSC straight runs. 3 have turned out to be roo's. I got 3 more pullets that are a few weeks younger. The original group get along great. I have integrated the younger girls, but the boys are being quite mean and won't stop pecking them. I have pulled the boys out into a dog...

New chick farmer! Started my venture in February 2018. Living just outside of Charlotte NC

They are cooperating! Lol

Long and short tail together

Long tail

Here is 1

I have 3 that I think are roos, but 2 have the same tail feathers and 1 is different. They could be either Barred Rocks or French Cockoo Marans...

Our store was 4. But Southern States was only 2.

Rock Hill SC (just outside Charlotte) we have barred rocks and French copper m arans. Southern States had many, many, more, like 5-6 different ones. They will even be getting some polish ones.
