Thank you very much

It took mine a good while to show copper. I thought the same thing. It will happen

Thank you... I find myself wondering what I missed our should have noticed. It's hard to only count 3 each night. I never thought I would get attached to a chicken much less love one. Much harder than I ever anticipated.

Thank Oh, I am so sorry. But I would agree with Bamadude necropsy would be probably the only way to know. [/quote Thank you. It's heartbreaking...

Maybe someone will have an idea of what happened... One of my 2 french black copper marans suddenly died. She was 2 years old. Considerably smaller than her sister. I only had 4 hens and the other 3 seem healthy. But so did she the night before she died. I even gave her Canadian bacon as a...

Thanks for the reply. It's just now getting to let's say 18 degrees at night. But very good to know it's just not my marans. I only have 2 of them so it's really noticeable when I don't have brown eggs ha!

So my marans have stopped laying. I mean stopped. I'm guessing due to the cold weather. My other breeds are doing just fine. Anyone else experiencing the same? They are under lights at night too.

I was always told feed only. That their system wasn't ready yet to process other foods. I would only give chick starter

Is there anyone who can help the guy with the sick chicken? Anyone have any ideas?

I'm new at chickens - but my chicks left the warm house at 7 wks. Are they warm enough at such a young age?

I have had only positive experiences on this post. I'm a learner, who's hens turned out to be pets. I just want to thank those who have helped me along my new experience. Sooo... Thank you!

Rh Once they start a new habit,  you may have to re-train them into going back into the coop. 1st)  Try raising the wattage of the light in the coop.  You might get lucky and they will return to the coop on their own seeking the security of the light. If raising the wattage of the light...

E Even in the hot summer they would go up / inside at night. We have no light in the run. They are not over crowded.

I h I have 4 hens : that's it. They all 4 stay out. Nothing new or unusual in the coop. I even put treats in there one night and nope, outside they are. I'm baffled. We have always had a low light in the coop. We even lowered the wattage thinking maybe they want it darker. They are...

So my run and coop are connected. Once my girls started laying, they don't go in the coop anymore at night. They stay in the run at night. And it's 46 degrees outside windy and cold... Any thoughts?

All right. Sorry but I'm SO excited and just have to share! - my first double yolk. And it came from my tiny FBCM.

Awe, thank you very much. I'm so proud of them , you'd think I laid them ha!

My 1st half dozen. The first laid were speckled the last nice and smooth. I just had to take a picture before using 3 to bake a cake.

The Hello everyone! I am one of those who don't own any Marans but am looking for one. I was hoping to find anyone who has a pullet or hen available in or around NE Oklahoma. I will buy chicks but would feel more comfortable if they are a little over 2 weeks so I don't have such a fear of...
