beautiful! I have never seen a hen with that much copper (except in photos). bcm in greece suck. they all have green sheen (although they look nice).

All the chickens are locked up. I have to stop feeding the predator. One of my Cream Legbars escaped the coop this morning and ran to another coop. She wanted to be in the coop with the CM and the BCM. Silly chicken. When chickens have their mind set on something it is impossible to dissuade them!

Do no feed the predator.
secure your flock .

fox proof fences are good thing to have .

you can afford to loose your marans chooks .

when I called this morning the guy didn't want to talk at all. but when I said there had been hatching eggs he advised me to keep checking in internet and to call again when I see they arrived to greece.

I know a guy here who keeps a hunting dog in the run at night. his chickens don't have a coop, they sleep on a big olive tree. and there are foxes around.

I am lucky that my street is small and there are many dogs barking at night so no foxes in my street. although they do come about 500 m from me.

with sheen they look nicer but they will not have a great balanced copper.

most of if not all the BCM hens who are black have sheen.

more penguiney type chicks when hatched will have sheen too.

soon you ll not have to deal with a Greek BC copies . you will have a real deal .

Quote: This is wonderful! Chooks Man..... I have never incubated eggs but I have read you should let shipped eggs rest before you put them in the incubator. Is that your experience? Oh my goodness Chickengr..... I am as excited as if they were mine.

Yeah RedBank
you have to leave the eggs when they arrive to rest for 24 hour . in dark cool place.
