One of my blue coppers looked like your black one at the bottom when he was a chick. Now he is soo dark blue he is almost black-kinda cool looking.

pinkchick: I love your little splash baby. I have more blue marans eggs coming in a day or two. I hope I get some splash this time

Can somebody post some pictures of a Black Copper chick at around 3 months old. Trying to compare to the chick I have. Thanks

Thanks, I think you're right. I have two lighter ones but that third one looks lighter now too. The 4th is still dark.

You have 2 blue, 1 dark blue and one splash.
Here is one of my splash babies taken last year. The little white one...though she doesn't look like that now.

Thanks. In your pic the white is the splash but what about the others? (In my first pic, the 3rd white and black chick is the exchequer leghorn.) I do think I have two blue and one dark blue and then the 4th looks like the others in your group.

That dozen eggs .... Well, I don't have them anymore.

Nope; the eggs in that carton are all broken.

They are no longer .......









I have to console myself......









with these broken eggs .....

AND THESE! ......

Why is it that the flash always washed out the darn color!?! Anyway, I got 11 out of 12 hatched. Another dozen are due in a couple more days. I will try to get a picture of them, as they are even darker than the ones hatched today. I thought I already had a picture of them, but I don't.

I am new to this chick stuff but I am addicted!!!

I am picking these three chicks up today, I was told they are about 1 1/2 month old Cockoo Marans, can anyone tell me is they think they are roos or hens. Sorry the picture is not that good, try to get better ones when I get them. Really hoping they are not all roos. thanks

Okay I have them now and here are some new pictures, I know two are roos but the one maybe a hen. What do you think, sorry to ask again

this one may be a girl

here is all three together

they are young, I don't think they are fully feathered on their backs or others were picking.
