    I have 3 Black Copper Maran 4 week old baby chicks that I all three look similar and am wondering if it is a pullet or a rooster. I am attaching a photo of one of them. These photos are of just one chick. This one is so docile and friendly. She/he walks right up to me when I walk in the coop...

    Chick weekly growth progression

    Hellooo :) I thought it would be helpful (and fun?) to see the weekly growth / age progression of my chicks! I guess it could also help with sexing...This is going to be from day 1 to week 8 for five babies (2 silkies, 3 polish / silkie crosses) I also have 'weekly' photos of another silkie and...

    Question regarding BCM x CCL and CCL X BCM

    I was hoping one of you genetics folks could answer a question for me. My BCM x CCL cross produced 2 sexlinked pure black pullets and 2 barred cocks (10 weeks give or take now), if the cross had been the other way around, CCL X BCM would my pullets have been barred? A poster on another forum...

    3-week BCM mystery death

    Hey all, Yesterday I bought a 3-week old blue copper marans chick from a woman who raises show birds. I probably paid more than I should have. I noticed a little lethargy when I first put her in the brooder with the other chicks (2 new with her and 4 chicks I had already). She was standing...

    BCM X ? for a somewhat fast growing dual purpose bird?

    I have a BCM I'd like to use to incubate / raise my own meat birds. What do you suggest crossing him with to get a decent sized, somewhat faster growing offspring? Ideally, I'd love hens of a breed that also lays a decent amount of eggs. But then I fear I'd be sacrificing the genetics that...

    Do Black Copper Marans fair okay free ranging?

    I'm a new chicken mom, and I've been really quite surprised by how many of my BCM's I have lost and I'm wondering if maybe they shouldn't be allowed to free range or if there is some trick to raising them? I love the BCM's so I got 7 of them, I'm down to 3 (only 1 pullet left out of 4 darn!!!)...

Should I use horse show-sheen on my Marans? I've heard some breeders talk about wanting a dull luster. In my experience, the spray makes...
