    Help sexing marans

    Does anyone have any examples of the difference between a 4-5 week old maran pullet and cockerel? I have some marans and am having a hard time distinguishing the difference as their legs, combs, etc seem to be rather similar. I understand its probably too early to tell, but I'm just curious to...

    Tractor supply incorrect breed

    I went to tractor supply and picked up what I thought were black copper marans but obviously they are not. Do you think they are cuckoo marans? I also got some bonus bantam chicks they offered me and I have no idea what they are. I was hoping the gold one was a sebright since I already have some...

    Is the breed accurate?

    I picked up a few hens since I'm planning on splitting my flock by size and my roo needed more ladies. The lady told me two were Welsummer hens and two were cuckoo maran crosses. I don't particularly care about the breeds, if I have barnyard mixes that's totally fine with me as there's no plan...

    Experience With French Marans?

    Anyone have any experience with French Marans? I adore feathered feet and I stumbled across these beauties! How do they do with your other flock members? Where did you source them? Did you show them? Are they friendly? Anything you have I will take.

    Blue Maran Rooster x Easter Egger

    I had 6 chicks hatch this week. They are a cross between a Blue Maran rooster (brown egg) and an Easter Egger Hen (light green egg). They are only a few days old and I am curious if anyone else has a similar cross and what did the offspring's egg color turn out to be? I was hoping to make some...

    Anyone know what breed my day old chick is?? Pekin?? Or Maran??

    Wondering if anyone could help me identify my little day old chick. I went to pick up my little day old polishes and RIR bantam and when I was there the breeder told me she had a little Pekin with a wonky beak that looked as though she may develop scissor beak and would give her to me with the...

    Need new home - NW PA - two Crested Opal Legbar Cockerels and one Black Copper Maran Cockerel

    Hello! I have three roosters that need a new home... We really cannot keep these three roosters. They are now 13 weeks old, crowing, jousting with each other. I apologize, I don't have a recent picture right now, but here is what they looked like about 6 weeks ago. Russell, (northwestern) PA.

    Broken leg? Injury healed crooked.

    So this curious girl went through the fence with our speckled Sussex and got hurt. The Sussex looked like she was in bad shape so I isolated and took care of the wounds. She’s fine now. This girl only looked like she had a tiny nick on her leg and scrape on her back. Those both healed quick and...

    So, I have a blue birchen maran rooster and hen. I’ve been hatching their eggs and so far all of them are black and showing copper colors. I have the two completely separated, so I am just hatching her eggs. Is it possible they aren’t full birchen marans? I’m so confused! Going to show mom and...

    This is my one rooster from all of the rescue birds I took in this year, I found him in a box with a ton of silkies and one little Cayuga duckling about six weeks ago. They were all sick but he, a black Silkie, and the Cayuga survived. He’s obviously Silkie (5 toes and hyper melanated) but mixed...

    5 toes???

    Dad is suppose to be a Maran, mom I was told is an EE but suspect OE. One of the 2 babies has 5 toes! Attached is a pic of mom, dad and baby's feet. Maybe a birth defect? The one toe doesn't look right.
