:barnie I have four, five month old chickens that we recieved from a freind who ordered them to hatch, but didn’t need the live chicken. I am unsure of what breed two of the chickens are, and I think they might be mixes. I think chicken one may be a French, copper maran but I’m not sure. I...
Yay! That’s good news! I think she is definitely a pullet too, just needed to make sure. I also do think she is some kind of Maran mix maybe. I guess I’ll have to figure out as she grows.:D
I have a 8 week old chick and I want to figure out if it is a cockerel or a pullet. I’m not sure what breed it is either which doesn’t help. Where I live, we can only keep hens, as roosters crow and disturb others. I hope it is a pullet, so I can keep it. Does anyone know what gender it is? :fl
We have 3 other chicks with her that are different breeds. She also plays with my dwarf rabbit and they get along well. When I play with her she likes to sit on my leg or my neck:love
I have a maran chick (mix?) (1 month old) and I want to raise her so that I can show her at fairs and contests. She is not aggressive, but I want to keep her calm so she is relaxed and well behaved. How can I bond with/train her? Also, every time I take her somewhere away from her other...
Of course! I still think it might have some kind of maran in it as it has similar qualities. Thanks for your help. I will definately keep posting pics! :thumbsup

Hope that helps.
Thanks so much! The person we bought it from bought a random selection of chicks from a hatchery I’m not sure where. We live in Florida so I’m not sure what big hatcheries there are here.
True. Could it possibly one of the rarer breeds maybe mixed with a more common breed? I am very new to chickens so this all helps me. Still trying to figure out the gender too.
