    We have three beautiful Black Copper Maran cockerels who were hatched in September who are getting ready for their own flocks. They free range and have been raised on non-GMO feed.

    So I thought my black coppe Maran kid the first egg? But it doesn’t look dark enough based off the chart. So I’m wondering if it could be one of my Orpingtons or my bielefelder?

    Five week old black copper maran

    I'm really hoping to be wrong because he's a sweetheart, but he looks awfully rooish so far. Kinda just hoping to get a better sense of if there's hope in waiting or I should prepare to find him a new home. I don't have much experience with this breed. Thanks!

    What is going on with this BC Maran?

    This is a 7 week old BC Maran. My question is what is going on with it’s feathers? It is hard to photograph but they almost look frizzled. The shaft is extremely fine, the feathers curl and seem fuzzy. Has anyone had a bird like this? Does this go away with maturity?

    Hi there! Our chickies are now around 10-11 weeks old, and all of a sudden we’re having aggression issues with our Black Cooper Maran. We were surprised because most people we’ve talked to have had a great experience with them. So we did some digging and now we’re wondering if the breeder...
