BLACK and BLUE COPPER MARANS, Partridge Cochins (LF) and Black Standard Cochins (LF)

What all colors do you have??

 

[Ray from PA]

I can let you know when they start laying,,, but normally they are not available until probably May if not June. I haven't found an egg yet.

What all colors do you have??

I have Off White, Buff, and Lavendar adults,,, some are paired up mixed colors, so not sure what offspring will come of it.

First round of eggs are in the incubator now.

Sounds great only looking for like 4!

 

[Ray from PA]

4 is fine,,, but, personally I would do at least 6,,, makes a better group, more guards, lookouts.

They pair up, but travel in a loose group, spreadout somewhat.

 

[Lilbrownie]

Was planning on raising them with my chicks and housing 2 and 2 in my coops as protection! Figured if I raised them together they would get along better?

 

[Ray from PA]

sounds like a plan, some of mine are free ranged,,,,many of mine live in the big run with chickens, at least until I'm done collecting eggs from them,,, then they will be turned out most likely.

 

[Lilbrownie]

I may even just build a small coop pen for them to be in by themselves and let them free all the time! Need to see how it goes first and see how much they wander when with the others! Wanna try to keep them from getting hit on the road!

 

[Lilbrownie]

When are they do to hatch??

 

[Ray from PA]

Takes 28 days,,,, probably been in incubator about a week to 10 days, so around the 24th. Another batch to go in the incubator this weekend.

They are very small at hatch, probably a good idea to grow them a couple days before selling to make sure they are doing well.


Wil keep you updated
