Hi, Can someone help me sex these Cuckoos? EDIT to add photo:

Not sure, but she's gorgeous!!! Wish you were near me and I would take her from you if you didn't want her.

you get a good hatch.

I've never hatched my Maran eggs any differently than I have all my other eggs. The only difference is that they are difficult to candle. Some people do not even try to candle them. But besides that, I really have not noticed any difference.

Are Cuckoo Marans a dominant breed? I have a brooder with three Silver Ameraucanas, one EE, and eight Cuckoo Marans. The Marans seem to be mean and very dominant. They will corner the other breeds and while standing in a semicircle, start to peck the other chicks. At first I thought they...

Thank you.

I am hatching out my first set of Cuckoo Marans eggs. Although the eggs are still dark, I notice they are lighter than the FBCMs. I'm wondering if I would be able to candle these. Has anyone been able to candle Cuckoo Maraans?

Quote: Thank you so much Debbi for your reply. That's what I thought. That mean would produce more mean. How disappointing! I will wait the 4 more months though and see if there is any change in him. If not it's freezer camp. I've had someone offer to buy him, but I just wouldn't want...

Good Morning Everyone, I posted in "Managing Your Flock" and no one answered. I then thought about it and realized I should have posted it here since you would have more experience in this particular question. I'm not sure if I am allowed to re-post the same question, so I will just give the...
