Hi everyone! I’m looking to invest in some quality BCM hatching eggs preferably local to where I live but I’m willing to pay for shipped eggs as well if they meet my standards. I live in lower mainland area in BC Canada. I found one breeder on Vancouver island called “Elaine’s fertilized eggs”...

Hi everyone! I have two separate broods of chicks growing right now. One set is 2 weeks old and with a momma hen, the other batch is 8 weeks old and was just weaned. All are with the main flock since I hate integrating birds. The older chicks are all marans mixes (BCM and chocolate marans) and...

So I’m starting an olive egger project and am considering using a blue copper maran roo to cover Americanas and whiting true blue hens. My question is, I will also have chocolate Orpingtons as well and was curious if I had the blue copper maran roo cover the chocolate Orp girls, wouldn’t the...

I've ordered 1 maran roo and 25 rir to just have a fun experiment 😀. I'm looking to breed a more frequent layer of dark brown eggs. I know some have done this but I'm curious about egg color. Does anyone have any photos?

I’m sure all the BCM people get terribly annoyed with this question but help me pick one of these three boys pretty please? I have two females and one male that are all beautiful and exactly what the SOP calls for . However, there egg color wasn’t very dark. These guys come from super dark stock.

We have 3 black copper marans and believe they’re all pullets but need a second opinion. They’re almost 11 weeks!

Hi all! I look up questions on here all the time, but finally made an account of my own. I've got about 25 laying hens in Tucson. Sell eggs at the farmers market. I've always wanted to breed olive eggers and finally this year I have a good BCM roo and a good Amerucauna roo and set up their...

Hi there! I've much enjoyed stumbling upon threads of weekly chick growth/progression so I figured its finally time to throw my hat in the ring! I purchased all sexed pullets and I'm pretty sure I have 1 or more cockerels on my hands (so it goes). I'm a first time chicken owner in a residential...

Hi all! I have some roos that I got as part of an order from Greenfire that I need a new home for! They are rare breeds so I would rather rehome them than eat them! I have 1 Gold Deathlayer male, 2 Silver Deathlayer males, and 1 Black Copper Maran male. All of them are in excellent health...

So, in case anyone is interested in seeing what they look like....I have a BCM and Splash Bearded Silkie cross cockerel and a BCM and Buff Orpington cockerel. Both have a BCM dad.

I’m heartbroken that I have to rehome my beautiful boy so I want to make sure that he goes to a good home. I can’t guarantee that he’s purebred but I do know that he hatched out of a #7 on the marans scale and according to the lady that I got his egg from the rooster over her flock was a BCM...

Ok, so I've got these two, 4wk old fancy bcms. I am half convinced one is a cockerel and the other is a pullet. The thing is the one who looks and behaves like a pullet is quite bigger than the "cockerel". The "cockerel" is way feistier and more challenging to my other isbar cockerels. Also...

I have two black marans hens and two roos. One roo has a sideways prong on his single comb, while a hen? has two mottled on her tail and the other roo's toe feathers are mottled. The question mark is there because she's either a non-pb hen, bms can carry the recessive mottle gene, or she's a...

Meet Bunny and Bagel, a bit over 5 weeks old today and I'm afraid they may both be roos! I know EEs showing patches of red coloring their wings isn't a good omen and my BCM comb is looking a little too large... Any votes? Here's Bunny the EE And Bagel the BCM Thanks for your time &...

I know it’s early but Pinkie is my favorite, hopefully 100% Maran. Guesses?

Hello! :frowFirst off, I'm brand new to BYC and very excited and grateful to have found this wonderful community! I had chickens for a few years in the past, but took some time off after a devastating event which cost me my entire flock in a single day. ❤️‍🩹 This spring, after major work to...

Hi BYC— This is Sir Robin. (pict below, I cannot figure out how to place in-line) He is a seven-month old Black Copper Maran who, if not the bravest roo in our flock, is certainly the most handsome. He was quite the vocal young rascal and ladies man shortly after he grew up. Unfortunately...
