    Cuckoo Marans or Blue Cuckoo Marans?

    I love mine. They are my most healthy, beautiful chickens. They aren't the most prolific layer and mine tend to go broody, but their eggs are so pretty and consistent.

    Cuckoo Marans or Blue Cuckoo Marans?

    My Barnevelders lay beautiful, satin sheen eggs every time. I know what you mean, just pretty :)

    I would say yep!

    Ick factor

    I guess at first I did, but now I think about store bought as ick. I still eat them, of course, but I totally prefer my own flock's eggs.

    Hen walking backwards and raising her feet to her chest

    I don't see an attachment here, but maybe I can offer advice as far as during molting. I had a hen that was my healthiest hen, but when she went through her first hard molt she had issues walking. She would walk backward, then side to side like she was drunk. It was like she was winding up to...

    After Lash Egg

    I love that you say this. I can't tell you how frustrating it was in the Facebook groups when nearly everyone would scream "OMG it is literally staph!! Wash and disinfect your hands, then disinfect the whole coop, nest boxes and run! Highly contagious!!" I had to leave those groups, just...

    Which rooster do I choose??? Any and all advice welcome!!! It's an unique situation!!!

    It's a crapshoot to be honest. I had almost a mirror situation, but in my case I chose Cockerel A because he was so docile with the girls and me. Turns out to be the biggest A-hole to me later down the road. I don't think they fully show their true personality until they reach 8-12 months old...

    Please breed and sex of this?

    I definitely see it is a female now. Also, still going with Minorca or Andalusian. They are Mediterranean breeds and this one definitely has the comb and wattles of this variety. Very pretty.

    Please breed and sex of this?

    Could be a Black Minorca or Black Andalusian. Either way it looks male.

    Did I ruin my jars of eggs by waterglassing incorrectly?

    I opened them up a while back and they were definitely bad lol The smell was horrible. I made a couple more containers up the correct way and they are holding up. I agree, never a bad thing to be prepared for anything.

    Guessing game!

    Oh! Well I also have 3 of those from Ideal. They were sold as Blue Cuckoo Marans, but I see no cuckoo pattern on mine, maybe faintly. But anyway, yours is probably some kind of Marans 🥰

    Guessing game!

    Ideal has Blue Australorp or Blue Marans. Possibly one of those. Very pretty!

    Cuckoo Marans or Blue Cuckoo Marans?

    I agree, they are still looking pullet to me.

    Guessing game!

    Maybe Cinnamon Queens? And I agree your barred ones are Cuckoo Marans - I don't think they are French Cuckoo because the legs aren't feathered.

    Please Help me

    Sorry for the loss :( I would get the lone chick a couple little chick friends - they do not do well alone as you can already tell. Don't beat yourself up but learn from this and raise some healthy, thriving chicks! There is a slew of info on this site on what you will need to raise days old...

    Please Help me

    Get rid of the corn and put them on a starter/grower feed. It looks like watery, loose stools around as well. At this point, give it electrolytes along with proper feed and hopefully it perks back up for you! ETA: what are you using for warmth? They should have a heat plate or a heat lamp and...

    Broody hen will not leave the nest

    Ya my advice is not really helpful if you are already into the hatching process. Chickens know what to do naturally, just let them be and she will get off when needed, etc. Have you tried candling the eggs to see if they are all good? Are you marking the eggs in case new ones have been laid by...

    Broody hen will not leave the nest

    When I have a broody hen I put her in "broody jail". I have a pen inside the run that I put her in during the day so she can't go sit in the nest box. I leave nothing in there but food and water, but it works in about 3 days. Of course I do not leave her in at night, she roosts with the others...
