my Maran hen hatched 6 chicks just before Christmas .. none of them came from her eggs, but they are all from the Maran rooster. Will be fun to see what they turn out like.
Hi Shell from Zim,
I think two of them maybe sulmtaler crosses they lay creamy coloured eggs... but one is definately Cream Legbar, she lays a blue egg. They are great, but a lot less friendly than my Redstars or my Maran, even though I hatched them and handled them everyday.
Thanks Northwest_Wannabe, I got the eggs from an advert from a breeder .. he had a lot of breeds listed but I asked for the three breeds listed and French Black Copper Marans. Three of the FBCM hatched and they are easily recognised from the others. The rooster in pic 3 could be a Maran...
Hi all,
I'm new to backyard chickens and new to keeping chickens. I ordered eggs from 4 different breeds and hatched them. Not all hatched and unfortunately I didn't keep a record of how many hatch from which type of egg, so now I have some chickens that I'm not sure which breed they are...
