    Pictures like that one of the very beautiful dark egg is how I went from 4 backyard chickens to 20. UGH! It's like torture.

    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    Hello! I just posted pix of my blue and (darker) blue marans that I hatched in June here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=4576287#p4576287 If anyone can take a look and let me know if you think I've got pullets (or not), I'd appreciate it. Out of my previous hatch...

    Quote: I hear Marans meat is excellent. Why not process them? That is my plan with all these extra roosters I have. I am gonna have a freezer full for winter, that's for sure! Well, they're my 5 year old daughter's pets. She can't have dogs and cats due to allergies. She calls herself...

    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    Three of my four BCMs from Greenfire Farms/Bev Davis pen turned out to be males. I have two cockerels left. One has more than 5 points on his comb, but I think they are nicely colored. Their neck and saddle fathers look darkish reddish orange, and not light orange. I hatched them in May and...

    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    Quote: It was good advice since I would have gotten rid of the other two suspected roos last week, but now I think they look more like adult hens. No saddle color and no crowing yet from them. Now, I just have to find homes for my Ameracauna cockerals...

    Quote: Based on your advice, I waited a few more days and it turned out the one which I was considering keeping as our only roo is the one that crowed and is showing colored saddle feathers. I really hope the others are pullets! It's just weird since the one that IS a pullet looks so...

    Quote: It was so hard to decide on the eggs and than to hatch them, I hope that these are hens. We can only keep one rooster in Los Angeles. I live in a residential neighborhood. My next door neighbor just got chickens too including one male who was crowing non stop. He already got rid...

    Quote: I WISH THEY WERE FEMALES! Here's the pullet from the same hatch. One of the presumed roos crowed once already but I'm not sure which one. If you guys really think they still might be females, I'll hang onto them for longer, though the ones with the wattles and combs are starting to...

    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    My daughter almost has me convinced to try keeping one out of three BCM marans males we hatched. Which one? One is larger and has great feathering but I think it's because he's pulling the feathers out of the other two. The second one has the orangist eyes but a funnier comb. The third is...

    Quote: I think he has two "lines" of BCMs. I hatched 4 from his Bev Devis line and two are large, one is just about their size and one is much smalle would try setting out more than one dish of feed just in case some of them are getting in there.

    I think #2 & #5 are roos. I am no expert but based on my 4 BCMs, two have small yellowish combs and two have red larger combs. The ones with the redder larger combs have more coppering coming in and their black feathers are turning bluish green. My "roos," however, are smaller than the girls...
