    These Aren’t Cuckoo Marans, Are They?

    So two of my pullets were sold to me at 8 weeks as Cuckoo Marans. Now they’re about 6-7 months old and I find that they have clean, yellow legs. These are actually Barred Rocks, aren’t they? (They haven’t started laying yet)

    When Will I See An Egg?

    Hello. I live in Knoxville, TN and have a small flock of backyard chickens. I have two Easter Eggers and two Cuckoo Marans. My girls are 6 months old now and loooking quite mature. I have a clean, comfortable coop & run for them, and it’s definitely big enough. They get to free range in our yard...

    Breed ID, please?

    This hen is 3 or 4 years old, best I know. I think the lady I got her from said she was a Copper Marans, but honestly it's been so long ago I could be wrong. As I've been watching and learning here on BYC I started thinking she might be a Cuckoo Marans ... but I think she lays an olive egg...

    Help, please! Easter Egger sex, plus a few more.

    Okay, backstory. I grew up with chickens as a small child, but have been a city dweller for many years. I’ve recently become a backyard chicken keeper trying to sex cockerels and pullets and decide where to send the men. I got all of these around Memorial Day weekend as “day old chicks” and...

    Cocks or Pullets???

    Attached are my chicks, one partridge cochin, and one cuckoo marans i'm 90% sure the marans is a cockerel, but i'm hoping the partridge cochin is a pullet? What does anyone think?

    Would this cross be sex-linked?

    If I crossed a Buff Ameraucana rooster with a Cuckoo Marans hen, would the offspring be sex-linked? If so, any estimate to differences in appearance? It would be interesting to produce a sex-linked olive egger. Thank you for reading!

    Is the heat plate burning my chick?

    This is Piper, my 16 day old cuckoo Maran. She has not feathered out as much as my other chicks and tends to spend more time under the heat plate than the others, but she’s still very active. Tonight, I noticed what appear to be scabs on both shoulders/wings. Do you think she’s getting burned...

    Cuckoo Marans Coloring Question

    Hi! I have a Cuckoo Marans that was my "free rare" from a hatchery order. I'm sure since he's from a hatchery, instead of a breeder, his coloring my not be perfect. But I'm wondering why he has a gold sheen to his black and whiteness? Is that what is referred to as 'color leaking'? It's really...

    Two Laying Hens in Los Angeles who need a new home

    Pepper is a beautiful Cuckoo Marans who lays brown eggs with some speckles. Chili is an Ameraucana who lays eggs that are cream-colored. They're both great girls who lay most days. We've had them in our backyard for the last year and a half or so, but with new construction projects going on both...

    Crowing Hens?

    I know there are several post out there on this topic, but being a first time chicken owner I am having a hard time trying to figure this out. I got 5 day old females of all different breeds at the end of May. My “girls” are 14 weeks old now and I heard someone crowing this morning. I...

    Hung some herbs up in they're brooder today, they sure do love them!

    It smells like Christmas in their brooder today, as I hung up some Rosemary, Basil, Mint, and Peppermint. Basil was the clear favorite! I like to hang herbs or chop some up for them, and they love them! You guys should totally try it, it's safe for them to eat! Credit to the idea comes from...

    Does this chick have angel wing?

    I have a 12 day old Cuckoo Marans chick that I think has angel wing. She doesn’t hold her wings close to her body like the other chicks and it looks like only the wing tips are held slightly out. Overall, she seems more docile than the other chicks (different breeds) and has serious pasty butt...

    Is my cuckoo maran a roo?!

    Here’s our cuckoo. I believe she’s about 4 weeks or so, we got her from a feed store that labeled the lot of chicks “pullets” but of course hat might not be guaranteed. I did some research beforehand and picked the chick with the most defined white spot and darkest feathers! But as the chick...

    Black Ameraucana/Cuckoo Marans is it sexable at hatching?

    We want to do a sexable Colored-Egger that is sexable at hatching. First of all, we are fine if it is an Easter-Egger and not an Olive-Egger; we are billing them as Colored-Eggers. We are just frustrated with having to wait 6-8 weeks to sex because people don't want straight-run. We have read...

    Wanna play name that breed?

    Got these cuties yesterday at a local feed that had a huge line out the door. The lady gave them to me so fast I just had to go home and research who is who. Here’s the list of breeds I got. Help me match the correct chick breed. Ameraucana, welsummer, Olive egger, silver laced Wyandotte and...

    Hello everyone! I am in the process of rebuilding my flock after suffering several losses earlier this year. I recently acquired a Cuckoo Marans cockerel who should be sexually mature in the next few weeks. I also have a barnevelder hen who hatched a clutch last year and has already attempted...
