    It is not looking normal to me. I thought you were referring to the white on the chest that the chicks are born with. It is looking like lacing on the first picture and the white looks to be gold tinted on the second picture... I would send a picture of the chick to the person you got them...

    I've been playing around with this concept lately. I was never able to get DH to build me a contraption for catching hen and egg for identification purposes. The best I could do was let all the hens out to free range, except the hen I wanted to collect eggs from. Then I would have a flock of...

    Hens are technically over 1 year of age. I am just confirming that these are pullets, probably around 6 months of age ? ? ? What is FCM ? ? Are they both Black Copper Marans? I ask because the second girl looks like she could be a really dark Blue Copper Marans.

    To receive the best "Constructive" feedback, you will need to post several pictures of each girl (pullet). You will need a pic from the top, front, back, and side. Be patient! The better the picture, the more accurate the feedback will be. Catch the girls (pullets) in the most natural...

    A chick that is Blue Laced & Copper is just called a Blue Copper. Just as the Blue can vary in hue - light, med, and so dark that it can be mistaken as black - the lacing can vary too.

    Black Copper crossed with a Blue Copper will yield a 50% Black Copper and 50% Blue Copper ratio of offspring. Sometimes the Blue can be so dark that it can be mistaken as a Black Copper... So it is possible that the person these chicks came from did not know that they had a black / blue mating...

    I don't know if I can agree with this statement. My Delawares are dual purpose birds and their egg production ROCKS! The only breed I have that lays more than them are the leghorns.

    X 2.... If the eggs were brought into the US legally, then there should of been a lot of paperwork, etc. involved. It isn't done too often now because of all the legislations.

    They tend to hang out in the coop waiting for a nightly feed when the birds go to roost. RAIN.... oh RAIN is a good indicator that mosquitos are going to be nearby. As far as it being cold, my first and only episode with fowl pox was during the winter.
