    Hi everyone! My name is Adrienne. I am new to the forum, but not to chickens. I think I ordered my first batch of chicks from a hatchery five, maybe six years ago? Most of those chickens are long gone now unfortunately, due to predators getting into their coop. My husband and I have gotten a...

    These Aren’t Cuckoo Marans, Are They?

    So two of my pullets were sold to me at 8 weeks as Cuckoo Marans. Now they’re about 6-7 months old and I find that they have clean, yellow legs. These are actually Barred Rocks, aren’t they? (They haven’t started laying yet)

    When Will I See An Egg?

    Hello. I live in Knoxville, TN and have a small flock of backyard chickens. I have two Easter Eggers and two Cuckoo Marans. My girls are 6 months old now and loooking quite mature. I have a clean, comfortable coop & run for them, and it’s definitely big enough. They get to free range in our yard...

    Might this be Birichen Marans?

    Hi, I have this cockerel. It's about 16-17 weeks old. Pretty tall, compared to the other cochin cockerels with which it hatched alongside. I was wondering if it might be a Birchen Marans. I got it from someone who was not knowledgeable, so I have no background whatsoever on its breed, origin...

    Breed ID, please?

    This hen is 3 or 4 years old, best I know. I think the lady I got her from said she was a Copper Marans, but honestly it's been so long ago I could be wrong. As I've been watching and learning here on BYC I started thinking she might be a Cuckoo Marans ... but I think she lays an olive egg...

    Midnight Majesty Marans chick- sexed “pullet” looking questionable...

    3 week old midnight majesty marans chick purchased as a pullet from TSC. I haven’t seen any obvious roo behaviors yet but the comb is big and the chick has small tail feathers(and some seriously huge feet )... what say you?

    What do you prefer to own: Feather-legged French Marans or Clean-legged English Marans?

    Feather-legged versus Clean-Legged

    I’m curious, take Marans for example, you have the French feather-legged variety and the English Clean-Legged variety. What sells better?

    Ungrateful hens? Or I’m being impatient

    I just started with chickens a few months back. My hens have all hit 19 weeks this week and there is not an egg in sight. I have Marans, legbars and leghorns. I only have 7, but I do keep a gorgeous legbar cockerel in with them most days. Could they be stressed from him? They don’t seem to be...

    Hatching Eggs 12 Black Copper Marans

    I've been raising black copper marans since 2014. I figured I would try to see if there was an interest here. Eggs pictured show ones I'm most proud of. The male pictured is the roo I use to breed. You can check out my facebook page marysmarans for more information and just general info about...

    Blue Splash Marans: hen or roo?

    I'm pretty sure this is a Marans rooster, should be a pullet. I have a blue EE as my only reference, as the other two of the same age are different breeds AND runts. Small but pink comb, and some pointy looking feathers. No rooster behavior yet, legs are thinner than my blue EE pullet. What do...

    4 week Marans sexing

    Hello! First time hatching chicks! These are 4 week old Marans. I think the first one is a cockerel because his comb is growing a lot faster than the others. But does the second picture look like a pullet or is it still too early to know? Could they just be developing slower?? Thanks!

    Would this cross be sex-linked?

    If I crossed a Buff Ameraucana rooster with a Cuckoo Marans hen, would the offspring be sex-linked? If so, any estimate to differences in appearance? It would be interesting to produce a sex-linked olive egger. Thank you for reading!

    Golden cuckoo Marans egg

    her eggs are starting to get the darker color! I love the color and pattern now. Wish it would stay like this but I know it will be darker.

    Monster chick

    So when i first got into chickens, i went to buy some young chicks to keep my JG company. I found some that were around 3 days old (same as her), and picked some. Stupidly, i picked the hugest chick there (around double the size of a JERSEY GIANT chick already!!) and of course he turned out to...
