    Hello everyone, I have 3 Black Copper Maran chicks (2 hens, 1 roo) from CFB, and I am trying to get Olive Eggers. I thought that they would lay those deep chocolate eggs, but after doing more research on Marans I found that hatcheries usually don't breed for those eggs. I am torn between...

    Black Copper Maran & Buff Orpington - pullets?

    These "ladies" are roughly six weeks old. Being a newbie, I'm especially unnerved by the pink coming in on Marie, the BCM. Can anyone set my mind at ease on these two? You are very kind!! #1 - Marie, BCM, 6 wks #2 - Buffy, BO, 6 wks

    Black vs. Black copper Marans

    So, I’m very confused. What’s the different between black and black copper marans? I just bought a breed duo and the top and the hen are both solid black. No copper. Now I’m very confused to as if I got the wrong breed.. worst of all they cost me 75$!! With black marans, do they lay the same...

    Help my hen cannot walk/balance!!

    Hi! My chicken has had an issue with the "wobble" x3 days now. Monica goes to walk and acts as if she's drunk, she tries to balance with her wings but ultimately lays on her "knees". She is about 4.5 months old. I've separated her and monitor her closely. She's still eating and drinking plenty...
