    Midnight Majesty Maran

    One of my favorites in our flock- a gothic cutie with an extra large comb and her name is Brunhylda. She is an absolute cuddle bug. She lays big chocolate brown eggs and doesn't care what anyone thinks of her style or taste in music. Seriously sweet tempered girlie. She has a sister that is...

    I'm planning to hatch chicks for sale for the first time soon.

    I've been around small scale chicken flocks my whole life. My grandma had chickens, my mom had chickens, and I've had a flock of around a dozen for the past 5 years. This year I'm upscaling and doing things differently. I currently have 5 roosters, 35 hens, and one pekin duck hen. I have...

    Who laid this egg?? 😅

    Hey there! Currently we only have two hens, one RIR from McMurray that we raised ourselves and is almostttt 15 weeks I believe (shipped out week of June 3rd and I believe we got them that Thursday), and one that we were told was a 1.5 year old maran (I didn’t ask which kind and we’re newbies to...

    Is this normal?

    I got 5 maran chicks from TSC but only 3 survived, and two of them have white/gray legs and one has yellow legs. I'm wondering if that's a normal thing or something else. Maran #1 Maran #2 Maran #3

    Polish Maran

    I was gifted this Polish maran mix. I'm not sure on age I would say born sometime in June. Curious if it's a pullet or cockerel?

    Heartbroken -- I've lost a hen for the first time… no idea what happened to her

    A short while ago, I discovered one of my 12 week old Cuckoo Marans, Fifi, laying motionless at a funny angle under the henhouse inside the run. I retrieved her body -- no apparent injuries; her legs and wings were stiff, her eyes closed and slightly sunken, but her head and neck just flops...

    Rooster in need a home in Central Wisconsin

    Discovered our 4-month-old copper black Maran is a rooster. Unfortunately, we cannot have roosters in town. Free to a good home and willing to deliver in the central Wisconsin area. He is a friendly guy and handles well.

    Help me ID what this "French Cuckoo Maran" actually is + bonus

    Good day all, I bought three sexed chicks at the start of May, one of which was marketed to me as a French Cuckoo Maran. I have been watching her grow and have been shocked by a number of developments, which is why I am now seeking opinions from you all :} First off, she is off-black. Her...

    Please me. Is this a breed?

    Hello all. I am new here and also new to chicken. I went to my feed store about 2 months ago and they had those chicks in a bin. The bin c ok clearly stated black copper maran pullet. Well, I took this one home because she was black and she had feathered feet with almost no comb. But over...

    Copper Marans from TSC....

    I got "copper Maran" chicks from TSC. They are looking a bit blue to me... wondering which of the Marans y'all think these cuties are. (the two brown/yellow chicks are different breed altogether)

    They're black Australorp...or are they?!?!

    Hey all! Recently picked up some chicks from TSC (bad idea, I know!), including 4 that are supposed to be black australorp, but 1 of the 4 looks different than the other 3. This caused me to obsessively research all the different possibilities and I've come to the conclusion that I either ended...

    Breed ideas for these chicks? Wyandotte, Marans, Welsummer, and Ameraucana mixes

    Hi everyone! Okay so I know it’s impossible to pinpoint this batch of chicks’ specific breeds, but I’m curious if y’all have any ideas of parent breeds, potential feathering patterns, or what breeds might be the most prominent based on what the chick looks like right now. Obviously just for fun...

    What live/dressed weights are you getting from your heritage /crosses meat birds?

    I'm experimenting and looking for heritage breeds (New Hampshire, Bresse, Jersey, australorp, Maline) which I can reproduce and incubate eggs without needing to continuously buy them. I am also thinking of crosses, like: New Hampshire x Standard Cornish, Bresse X Standard Cornish. Open to...

    Help! Serious Chicken Head Injury!

    I found one of my hens badly beat up by two of my turkey hens. I have removed her from the coop and she is currently in an old brooder in the dark, and I moved my turkey hens to an empty coop to ensure they won't attack any more chickens. The hen, a Splash Marans, has lost all of her comb and...

    Leg bands on fluffy feet

    I have a pair of chocolate Maran pullets which look almost identical, I’d like to give them leg bands to tell them apart more easily but being Marans, they have lightly feathered legs. Does anyone know of a type of ring that would be suitable for feathered legs or some other alternative?
