Hey all!
I know I post much but I lurk a lot. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm getting excited because my BCM roo is starting to get his green tail feathers in and has so many colors coming in all over his back and his neck is beautiful with copper! I'm so in love with him!
Sorry to the one...
No not for incubation. I was just going to let them do what they do. If she happens to become broody at some point I may let her sit them and just see what happens.
Thanks!
Could I interrupt for a question?
Anyone had a black copper maran and french cuckoo maran mix?
I have a BCM roo and kept a male and female cuckoo to breed.... However the BCM roo has decided that the cuckoo hen belongs to him, and him only.
Not sure how this will work out. I hate to separate...
Most of you know I'm still somewhat new to being a Maran owner and that I got mine from a breeder.
My husband and I had the opportunity to visit her farm yesterday to see where our babies were coming from and I was more than pleased! Here is her BCM Roo, the papa of our babies.
He is gorgeous...
Not sure on eggs but as far as temperment, I've found that if they are true French BCM with the feathered feet, they are much more docile. I've had others tell me this as well. Mine have been on the quieter side so far.
This is my Cuckoo Maran. He's a bit smarter than the others but you can see...
I got another Cuckoo Roo today. (And some turkins, frizzles, and araucanas) Hubby is probably most pleased.
He is still young. But he is so sweet and so very timid. He follows me everywhere and when I bend down and call for him he comes RIGHT to me!
I am in love with this little guy! I go...
Spot on the head says roo to me, from what I've learned.
But at 4 weeks my Roo's had larger combs than that so I'm tied on this one.
Here's my Cuckoo hen 4-5 weeks for comparison.
Below him you can see the comb of a roo the same age, it's much larger.
Is there anyone here willing to message me and give a little advice on shipping chickens?
I'm wanting to sell now and then and have 4 or 5 Cuckoo Maran Roo's that can go now but I want
to make sure I do this right! =)
Just curious,
What can one sell French Cuckoo Maran chicks for? Roos and hens.
How about Black copper Marans?
I have a breeder who doesn't have time to mess with her 'extras' so she gives them to me to either keep or sell.
Just wondering what I could get from them if I decide to sell. The...
Hi!
I'm a new Maran owner!
I have 8 new babies. They are all pure french cuckoo marans. She said some are copper and some are black, I got them from a local breeder.
Opinions? Roos, hens, healthy looking? I'm new at the fuzzy footed bird! But I love them!
