International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

It was a good rant in my opinion haha. Glad to hear that your cockerel is doing better.

Thanks Braxton! Me too. I am growing quite fond of him.

Went out to feed the chickens and attempted to snap a few pictures. Didnt get a single good one but I did get a cute shot of one of my LA pullets admiring my boots.

To update on my FRF cockerel with the crop impaction, he seems to have completely recovered and happily walked right into my arms when I bent down. He's a good boy. I have named him Mud because the silly thing eats mud and anything that doesnt eat him first, hence the crop impaction.

Chickens definitely evolved from dinosaurs, I am convinced of that now. And when the meteor or whatever wiped everything out way back when, only the rock and ash eating creatures we now call chickens survived when the earth was a wasteland. Chickens can and will eat anything and everything. LOL

And that concludes the rantings of a sleep starved nursing student.

bahaha

everytime i go out and look at my chickens (especially the young 10 week olds) i think...wow! they really do look like their from the dinosaur ages....bahaha too funny.

Happy to hear of the recovery, cute name too.

My guy this morning. He is dark, but not as dark as this photo suggests. He was standing in the carport.
I just created an Instagram account which will have some more pics of my Marans, as well as everyone else.

Well..... in Australia it might be but in North Florida (the Redneck Riviera) everybody might turn around when I called him. On second thought it would be pretty humorous. For any of my friends and neighbors I say this with tongue in cheek. I love all things Redneck.

But in Texas...no problem...lol

Hi Everyone, long time lurker though I rarely post because I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing with BCM's. Then again, I feel like I have no idea about life in general so perhaps its this insecurity of not knowing


















that keeps me trying! I call upon you all for kind assistance in choosing a male for my flock. My previous male, I got rid of- he had an eye issue. The course of the issue occured while I was away at university so I didn't know enough about it's progression etc to feel confident keeping him around.

Anyways, I hatched these boys shortly after moving back from my dorm. I actually picked up the eggs in Connecticut on my way back from NYC where my school is. So the day I came back from grad school, these expensive little babies went in the incubator. The white wing feather is something I see a lot from different breeders. I have figured out you get the best pics when your phone battery is low and the screen dims, all the sudden everyone is cooperative.

Any opinions, thoughts, feedback is welcome. I did competitive sports so nothing you say could be too harsh, I take even harsh feedback constructively unlike most of my generation.

I waited till these boys got older just so I could get the best input. Please be as detailed as possible in your response because I might not understand otherwise.
