We call him Pretty Boy Floyd.
I notice a few of you have critiqued others chickens.
I would love to hear what you think of Floyd. Please FORGIVE the back n tail feathers missing,a stray dog Tried to take on Floyd.

He is 13months old,and a "French Copper Maran" that's the breed name we were giving from hatchery.

Hi everyone, hope all is well. I am posting some pictures of Magpie. It seems she has developed some copper feathers on the wing, and in the saddle area. Sadly I know this will probably render her as a layer only pullet Is this common in a pullet? Anyone else ever experience this with their BCM females? Both sides have a small copper spot on each wing. I was excited about her development, but now feeling bummed. However I did purchase some wheaten marans hatching eggs so I am excited to see how they turn out.
