    Cuckoo Marans X Breeds / 2023 Breeding

    I'm starting this thread to show off offspring from breeding my Cuckoo Marans to different birds. Most will be the same breed while others will be breeds that I'll be pairing with him to produce meat birds from. I'm really excited to see how well his temperament gets passed down. I'll be sure to...

    Murray McMurray Cuckoo Marans genetics questions

    I've been goofing around with the Chicken Calculator, and I think I might have a crossbreeding gameplan. But, I want to know more about the genetics of the birds involved first. For example, the Cuckoo Marans from Murray McMurray, what is the 'extension of black'? 4 options on the calculator...

    Are these Jersey Giants?

    Hi! I have a bit of a conundrum. You see, back in early May I purchased 8 day old chicks. 6 were supposed to be straight run Jersey Giants and 2 were supposed to be Mystic Marans hens. I could not tell them apart, but figured once they'd grown it would be easier to tell. The trouble is, now...

    Is MyPetChicken still affiliated with Meyer?

    I had a bad experience with Meyer and decided to go with MPC when ordering chicks this time around. But, I’m just now figuring out that the hatcheries are/were affiliated. The threads I saw are years old, so I’m here to ask if it’s possible that they’re not affiliated anymore? Meyer forgot to...

    1 year old Black Birchen Maran / Red Cross Rooster - ALABAMA

    1 year & 2 months old, this guy was an 'oops' egg that was placed mistakenly under a broody silked easter egger hen. The silkie hen raised him as her own and he's a great guy. Even being a cross, I think he's very handsome. He's gentle with his hens and has done well with just 2 hens as well as...

    What colour is my marans pullet??

    Blue Copper, Black Copper, and Blue Splash Marans

    I have some black copper, very limited amount of blue copper, and quite a few blue splash marans. I'm running out of room for breeding pens with all of the other birds I breed. :hmm So I was thinking of combining my marans. Do others do this or run into any issues? We do sell chicks to pay for...
