Latest pics of my Blue Copper Marans Cockrel, Still waiting on the coper to start showing up.He's 12 weeks old.


1st pics of my Blue Marans pullet, I'm told she's mossy and clean shanked. thats ok right now i just want a nice dark egg.ETA to add shes about 9 weeks old

That's is a lovely boy indeed... hopefully he'll get some copper in soon. Did he look like he was wearing a tuxedo when he was little?

I tried to hatch some shipped Marans eggs, and only one hatched. It appears to be blue, and a pullet, correct? "She" is 7 weeks old in the photo. Thanks for any feedback!

She is GORGEOUS!

I did shipped eggs, too - four of mine hatched. I'm pretty sure three of four are cockerels...

Thanks for all the replies! So glad to hear most are thinking pullet. I really like this bird. Can't wait to see what she lays.

Thanks, he did seem to have a tuxedo look. That's also him in my avatar around 3 weeks. I was confused about his age, was thinking he was 12 weeks but he's 9 weeks. It was a long day yesterday. Sorry

I think then he may still color up with him being that young. It kind of comes out of no where

My `groceries` went on lock-down yesterday... so a couple more days I will be posting pictures of my little immigrant Marans (OE, Ameraucaunas too )....
Wish me luck. (I was ever so careful with them. But they did alot of extra traveling on the way home.... restaurants, rest stations...We were driving so they came with me everywhere on the way home. I couldn`t leave them in the car... they would have been cooked!).
Hummitiy is at 54% and the temp is 100 - 99.7...

Donna- I have no idea what that chick will grow out like but I do know it can't be Splash as that pen is a Blue Roo over Black Hens. As I said on the phone I found a dead chick that was a little smashed in with my broody hatch that appeared white/yellow other than hat I have never had a light chick of any kind from that pen. Don't ya just love how genetics will throw you a real curve ball out of the blue. I am diying to see this one grow out, you know my vote is for a sport white but who knows!

Sounds like we will be hatch buddies, I was suppose to put some eggs in lockdown last night but did not get around to it so they went down this morning. Good luck with your hatch!

He hatched Easter so he was 8 weeks old yesterday. He did have a tux when he was little. The pullet is near the same age maybe a week or so younger.
