Ive decided to sell my flock of Marans. There are three French Black Copper Marans hens, one Fench Blue Copper Marans hen and one French Blue Copper Marans Rooster. I have been paying someone local to hatch all my eggs with great success! This flock has a 99% fertility rate with a 95% hatch...
I have three free Roosters to good homes. All are 17 weeks old and were hand raised.
One Black Copper Marans
One Wheaten Marans
One Blue Cochin

If you lived in Southern California I would GIVE you two Marans roos. I have a Wheaten and a Black Copper I need to find homes for. Both are good boys and 15 weeks old. I paid $10 for my Marans chicks. I think 30 for a Roo is CRAZY!. There are so many free roosters on Craigslist. I see...
There was a post on here where a lady found her duck dead and she had been sitting on eggs. She made a incubator out of a fish tank, a light and a water pan(something like that). At the end of the post she did end up hatching the eggs. You might want to search for itm and read what she did...

That was my first and last time buying stright run chicks!! I have bought 15+ sexed pullets since! Now I need to look for a young Silkie pullet/hen to buy!

I was having the same problem trying to add new 7 week old birds to my flock of 10 week olds. Someone told me about some stuff you can buy at the feed store that you rub all over their head,neck and back. It taste and smells bad making the other birds want to leave the new ones alone...
I have no idea what your birds are but I will say I bought some chicks from a lady who bought the eggs off ebay. She was told they were Black Copper marans and Wheaten Marans. I ended up with two Wheaten Marans and 6 Olive Eggers. The Olive Eggers were a Araucana crossed on a Marans. Who ever...
