International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[marchick]

I'm retired so it seems like I spend 20 hours a day looking for the Holy Grail! Tom

Let us know when you find it! Please don't keep it to yourself! Lol

Someone tell me how Blue Birchens work! I am thinking about buying some GFF. Thanks for any info.

I hope you get some. Then we can learn together. I am still waiting for my Birchen and Blue Birchen Marans.

Where is Chooks man when you need him!

I got my 7 in 1, 8 quart instant pot today. I ended up getting 30% off plus another 20% off of $149.00. I am ready to cook!

I wonder if some chicks don't eat enough because of the others. when I separated my cockerels they all put the weight on.

Chester plumped right up soon as I got rid of my other roo (who mind you was a bantam Cochin 1/3 his size)

Yeah!!! Picked them up at 5 am. Shipped all the way from California! Only got 4 marans. The rest are 1 cream legbar, 3 welsummer, and 2 "sage egger" (a mix they created - in guessing CL and welsummer). Their flock is having broody issues so they weren't able to fill my order completely at this time which I'm okay with. I think @RedBanks said he could tell sex on day old marans? May test your skills for fun later

We need head on/side views of beaks. Congrats on the new babies!

Don't know we have to ask Kfelton0002. I hadn't thought of that. Maybe it is a pullet! Now that you mention it, it does look more like a pullet that a cockerel. Kfelton0002 said cockerel and I never thought of anything else. @kfelton0002 What do you think?

it is not a pullet. look at the saddle feathers.

bantam roos are dangerous. they kill LF roos easily. maybe because they are lighter and escape faster.
