    Black copper marans - rooster or hen?

    Hi, it's about 4 weeks we are raising baby chickens. We have 5 blue marans and 4 black marans. We are pretty sure about a gender of 8 chicks. But the last one, I don't know. Compared to 3 other black chicks (I think they are rooster) that one doesn't have such big red comb and is pretty docile...

    Any idea what these two roosters are?

    Hi, These two roosters are 11 months old. Got them from someone not very knowledgeable on chicken breeds. Do you have any idea about what breed they might be? Especially the black one. The black one looks like a Marans, but it has this silvery-yellow leakage and the one with white I suspect is a...

    Golden Salmon Marans??

    When I moved back home last year, I got two unknown birds from a local poultry swap. A gent was selling both as a pair - he got them as a mystery bird in his order and sold them because he just had no idea what the heck they were. Today I saw a bird that looked similar and decided to look them...

    Black Copper Maran and Oliver Eggers

    Hi all. I'm thinking about adding a Black Copper Maran and an Oliver Egger to my flock. I have a Blue Maran, but I read that Black Copper Marans aren't heat hardy. I live in West Tn, Zone 7. Is there any reason a Black Copper Maran would be any less heat hardy than a Blue Copper Maran? I keep...

    Marans With Featherless Legs?

    Hello! I am VERY interested in getting Black Copper Marans in a few years (Those EGGS!), but I strongly dislike feathered legs (No offense, but I like my chicken legs sleek lol). Are Marans without feathered legs bred often? Would they be difficult to obtain via hatching eggs or from a breeder...

    I have not been on BYC in a long time. They used to have a forum / thread that was specific to your home state. Is this still an option? I can't seem to find it.

    Blue copper marans feathering

    I have this gorgeous blue copper marans pullet, which is perfect in every way, exept for one. I've noticed a few tiny white feathers on her head. I'm trying to get my marans as perfect as possible, so this is quite imporant to me. Is this allowed? And can it be easily worked away? I'm planning...

    Wheaten Marans 6wks - pullet or roo?

    I don't have any experience with wheaten marans so I'd greatly appreciate the advice of someone with more experience in sexing my 6-wk old wheaten marans. The shoulder, chest and leg feathers are a reddy clay colour - which is darker than the wheat colour I'd expect for a pullet, but not black...

    Difference between Black Cuckoo Marans and French Cuckoo Marans?

    I noticed something funky looking on my only Cuckoo Marans legs one day and thought it was weird and kinda gross, honestly. I figured I should probably keep an eye on them because it just looked so gnarly. Stupid me, I didn't realize she was growing freaking feathers on her legs!! They looked SO...
