    Sharing cuteness

    Hatched 4/22/21. Dad was a black Maran, mom was told was an EE, but based on pictures pretty sure she was an OE. Adoptive mom is a RIR. They were allowed to integrate immediately. We even had 2 surprise unfertilized eggs left in her hatching nest ( I created it after that lol).

    Easter Eggers, 11 weeks

    I hatched a dozen chicks and I got quite a few non-frizzle pullets. They'll still have colorful eggs though, and their genetics include Ameraucana (black and white splash + blue eggs) and Black Copper Maran with deep chocolate and maroon eggs. They're from local breeder Open Gate Farm's large...

    What is the chances of getting a Black Copper Marans If I breed Blue Marans?

    Hi! I was wondering what the chance would be of getting a Black Marans if I breed two Blue Marans together? Could I get a splash or would they stay blue? Thanks, Turkey Girl

    Any guess on gender?

    I have three 10 1/2 week old chicks. I was wondering about gender because we aren't allowed to have roosters. There is one each of a barred rock, a Cuckoo maran, and a buff orpington. They were all bought as pullets but the maran and the Orpington have been kinda chest bumping? The maran is...

    Eye Injury?

    Hi! I'm new to raising chicks and noticed today one of our 5 week old midnight majesty maran had an eye she wasn't wanting to open/was squinting when she did. On closer inspection she is a little bald around the eye and there was a slight amount of clear pus that came out. Her other eye is...

    Cuckoo Maran Cockerel?

    hi, I posted about accidentally getting a feather legged Maran a few days ago (first photo) and someone guessed Cuckoo Cockerel. Here are some new photos. Does anyone know for sure? I think it's a pullet since I haven't seen much wattle growth. They are a month old today. Also, It is much...

    Why is my cuckoo maran laying blue eggs

    Okay so new to chicken ownership and bought a cuckoo maran pullet back in March. She's just started laying eggs... but they are blue. Totally confused as I thought they'd be brown? I've been googling to see what may have gone on, but all I can see is that if she was an unintentional cross, she'd...

    Fertile or not?

    Candling blue eggs and I can’t see a thing inside! it’s day 7, and there’s no clear veins or embryos, but can’t see much of anything. here is one that is clearly infertile and here is what most of the others look like... Any thoughts from those of you experienced with blue eggs? 🤷‍♀️ 🤔
