    Quote: Yep....Carnation. Sorry. They taste just the same as a bird that has a good comb. Yes, I just do not want to bother with them that long. It is not worth the feed this time of year.

    Quote: You are very right when you say it "is a much wider problem than is being talked about." Think of have many people out there are buying Marans eggs and not reading this thread. I know the person I purchased my "Marans" eggs from on ebay is not the same person discussed on this thread...

    Quote: Funny we were posting these at almost the same time! Wow, how's that for thinking alike? What you are showing is the makings of a Carnation comb. You are right in assuming the pullets will express it at a later date, or they will most definately carry one gene for it. I am glad I...

    Just want to share my ebay mistake with people. Yes, this is what happens if you do not do your homework! I just hatched out another batch from another breeder and the chick not only look different but have a totally different personality. This first cockerel shown was very aggressive as a...

    Gosh, you guys sure stay up late! I'm a 9:30, 10:00 person! I am glad you are back Anna, I hang out on here even if I do not write and I missed seeing you.

    Question please: I have notice that 2 of my marans chicks have 2 or three feathers developing on the middle toe--are these cull materal? Or I should say, if hens they head to the laying flock?

    Good Morning!! I just got in from feeding all the bird kids. A little chilly out there this morning but the birds seem to love it. I moved my marans chicks in to a big plastic tub with pine shaving this morning. I have had them seperated in two pens due to one, that I have named Hannibal...

    Quote: Neosporin is probably a good idea and I will try that -- thank you! No, they are not crowded and last night was only the second night out of the hatcher. The one that is pecking the feet(I sat and watched trying to figure out what was going on) is a large chick with the largest...

    Quote: Are the chicks pecking at the other birds' toes, or are they doing it to themselves? I had a single hatch roo, Pip, who had pretty shank/toe feathering coming in, and one morning I noticed he was pecking at his toes, and was bloody. I washed his feet off, and slathered on some Neosporin...

    Good Morning, or I hope it is for all of you. Mine started out with checking on my 2 day old marans chicks and I have a problem that I hope someone can help with. Three of the chick--the only ones with feathers down the toes--are getting their feathered toes pecked. One so bad that it looks...
