    Weird broody Marans

    I have a year old Copper Marans that went broody and I couldn’t break her. We wound up getting her 2 babies from TS. They took to each other right away and she has been wonderful with them. They are raised with the flock. The thing is they were 31 days old yesterday, and she is already back to...

    Why is her comb so dark?

    I have a pullet who is a ‘Midnight Majesty Marans’, but her comb is way darker than her two ‘sisters’ combs. They have a reddish comb, but she has a pitch black comb still. She is 16 weeks old, and hatched in early February. I included a picture. Any good ideas on what could be going on?

    Easter Egger

    Easter Eggers are not a standardised and recognised chicken breed, but they are mixed crossbred X chickens created in barnyards by hobby farmers all around the world. They carry the gene of the blue and green egg shell. This means that breed like rumpless araucanas, crested british araucanas...

    A continuation of this hatch-a-long... https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/flock-restart-hatch-along.1651317/ All 11 (I had a 100% hatch rate!) are happily in the brooder. I know who some of these chicks are, but some of them I am guessing on because they hatched overnight. In egg #...

    Do eggs change color over time?

    My Noir Marans hen just layed her first egg (yay)! I thought Noir Marans were supposed to lay dark chocolate brown eggs but this one is very light brown. Any chance her eggs will darken as she continues to lay or is this the color they'll be forever? Thanks!

    BCM with white hackle?

    Hello everyone! So as the title says, we have a BCM chick that has white where the copper color should be. It's also missing the leg feathers that our other BCM have. What happened with this chick? Our BCM come from two separate lines. One line consists of a single hen with dark copper color...

    Are all these boys!? 😭

    Please tell me I still have a chance for atleast one of these marans to be a pullet! Almost 5 weeks old. First pic is of our for-sure cockerel who was hatched the same time as the others around 3/25.

    Is this broodiness? Pullet

    My 8 month old golden cuckoo marans has been very moody the past week. Grumbling about everything to everyone, yelling, growling and just being a general diva. The past 3 days I’ve had to go out and take her off the nest because she will sit there for hours, even if it’s only fake eggs under...

    Rural King Chicks - What are they?

    So once again I feel like I have been duped by the hatchery that Rural King uses! These are my "teenagers" that are about 3 months old (born in April) I picked out and bought 4 Cuckoo Marans, 2 Sapphire Gems and 2 Easter Eggers. One of the EE died after a week so that is why I only have 1 now...

    Hello! I have got a French Copper Black Marans who is about a year old now and was the victim of some trauma from change and bullying, she looks awful and I’m wondering how long it will take for her feathers to regrow and for her to look beautiful again?

    Does anyone have chickens that have green feet? My new chicks are ameraucana and Marans so I'm not sure what kind of mix she might be. I'm excited to see what she turns out to look like.
