    I guess what I'm trying to figure out is do I have to have 2 salmons to breed together or is it a mix of other colors? So let's say this one is a rooster, could I potentially hatch more out by breeding him to a golden laced? If it's a hen ... what if she's bred to a _______. Or ... what if...

    OK folks ... here are the pictures of the baby chick marans I've hatched. And since the seller has outed hersef, I'll give her full credit! The eggs are from quailladyoffortmyers and as I mentioned before, I actually didn't think any of them, or maybe 2-3, were going to hatch but at my...

    Quote: Not Golden Cuckoo either - Golden Cuckoo are brown with a whitish yellow spot on the head. That chick is either a Barnevelder, Welsummer, or Golden Salmon Marans. . . . Or something else partridge or BBR colored. OK So how does one get a golden salmon marans? In other words, what is...

    So I just hatched our very first marans ... let's hope it is one of many over the next few months. The hatching eggs could be silver cuckoo, golden cuckoo, or black copper marans. I have never seen any of these chicks in person before, so I'm needing a little help identifying what I've got...

    Quote: So I keep telling my nubby that we are missing the boat on not processing our culls. He thinks I am nuts to even consider it and it will tarnish my feminine sensibilities forever and I will never eat chicken again. I used to help hang and cut deer, and even did one deer by myself, so...

    Yes but it was just 2 out of 15 and I figure I can tell the difference between them when they hatch. We are going to our state fair (in horses) so I have to ensure I set the incubator late enough that we will be back when they are hatching ... would hate to let my husband have all the fun!

    Picture of our cuckoo marans Charlie. You'll see there is a post on the what breed is this link because my husband believes it is a barred rock rooster, but it was sold to us as a cuckoo marans. We've had him about 20 months, so ever since he was a young cock, not quite crowing. He is huge...
