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

    I also have a dozen chicks that I ordered from Black Copper King right before he went out - truth be told I was NOT pleased with them when they first arrived compared to my other marans chicks. However, as they are growing out, they are becoming more and more what I what I would be considered...

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

    I understand totally - I had some chicks shipped in from a "reputable" breeder from here, and although they are nice people, I have several very ugly birds with webbed toes and bad coloring already. I was quite disappointed. They are also skittish and mostly roos. But, I also have some VERY...

    You're absolutely right! And I have a matching pair ... of roos!!! LOL These guys are 16 weeks and just huge, twice the size of my laying ee's. My twins call them "Honk" because of their voices. I have yet to hear them crow though. I am praying one is a pullet. I doubt it though. I am...

    Quote: That's what I was thinking - breeding gcm's doesn't give you gcm's but "regular" cuckoos. You have to breed gcm to cm to get 1/2 and 1/2 --- any one else know??? I was just wondering because I've done tons of reading and there is little out there about gcms. Everyone chat about the...

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

    Another stupid question ... I've searched and searched and wondered. I've got gorgeous (well I hope) golden cuckoo marans and regular cuckoo marans in the bator. Is this considered a cross if I let them breed and will these be considered "pure"? I wasn't sure of the genetics on these. I've done...

    Quote: I am so glad for you - I have a few of hers in the bator now. They didn't fare so well with the P.O. though. I think only 5 or so will hatch out of the 18 she gave me. I also got blue ameracaunas the same day and three out of the box were broken (not from her) so I know the P.O. was...
