Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

[tfpets]

I was in the pet area today playing with pics - Today is the first time I've seen chickens eat so much, they lost interest in any more snacks! I hope they're okay, they got alot of snacks like Oatmeal n fruit n crumbles n more.
Cuckoo Marans teens, almost all grown now.....

A whole Crop of Coppers with some friends laying around........

Bent - my disabled Black Copper chick - funny looking but sweet.....

Black Copper baby - they grow up so fast!

Poultry Diversity - Black Copper baby, and I had to put this call duck with the chicks to keep it alive - the flock kept running over it. It has friends now.

I think Cuckoo Marans are great!

I love those perches in your coop! I need to put some of those in mine. I'll bet they love um.
I have eucalyptus branches everywhere I can use.

Thanks. They are Tulip Poplar saplings. We have bunches.

Oh...those trees sound a lot prettier than eucalyptus

I hate my eucalyptus trees. All they do is shed branches, leaves, pods, seeds, sap and bark all over the place. But, my birds will probably end up laying eggs in the leaves because they seem to like to lay down in them now and the branches will make good perches.

Oh, I think Bent will always be special, but I think he will be fine. His back is curved so severely that his left wing lays over to his right side. But he doesnt seem to notice - he flaps his wings, runs for the fun of it, shrieks for joy and jumps up for his treats. I hope he'll be okay? I would never allow him to breed although I'm pretty sure his problem was from being too large in the egg. He took a VERY long time to hatch - and I couldnt cull him or anything else, he wasnt suffering, so I let him be. My pets seem to accept the underdog pretty well - there's almost a reverse pecking order and my stronger birds look out for the weaker ones. He should do fine, or I'll separate him if needed.

We are new to the Cuckoo Marans here are our chickie babies the 2nd day home that was July 9th they are quite a bit bigger now...

here they are a couple of weeks ago in the brooder with the security system Hahaha

I have always like black&white chickens and the color of their eggs is what drew us to these guys.
They are eating like crazy We fill the food jar 2 -3 times a day I call them Chicki-pigs I will get a more recent photo posted soon.
