Black Copper Marans discussion thread

Sit back a minute...... think about this...... can you believe a bunch of grown people are even having this conversation.  Having a mean chicken, using a chicken stick, caring for our chickens..... everyone has their own way.  

X2. I completely agree. The conversation took on a high school quality..

LOL I went outside to see my chickens and they all came running across the yard. 76 chickens, what a sight and I burst out laughing...... I thought ...... are you guys coming to get beat with a stick?

Hello!! This is Mercury at 7 weeks. Unfortunately she was hatched with brachydactyly (missing toes) and cannot be bred or shown. Although she is the sweetest, quietest, calmest, and easiest chicken I have had! A friend of mine and I decided to go in on some black Copper Maran eggs this spring! But out of 12 Eggs only 5 hatched and out of those 5 one went missing and the other four all have practically as well........ it's been a rough spring! A lot of learning to!

She looks like a cockerel to me but I really could be wrong..

X2. At 7 weeks, with a comb like that, I'm saying definitely cockerel.

Lol wouldn't surprise me at this point! But I hope not I wouldn't feel right selling a breeding bird that has brachydactyly. She is one of my favorite Birds! She is the sweetest, calmest, quietest bird I have ever had! I'm hoping to get nice dark eggs outta her!! last year i had absolutely NO issues...the only thing close was Little Jerry my Rhode Island Red decided to molt in January!! This year is one thing after another!! Seriously lol
