Marans are SERIOUS Broodies

Can you move her to a separate pen for a few days? ANYTHING dog crate? Try that for a few days.... move her back and forth till she breaks. The changes will make her give up.... usually

Yeah I can move her to our smaller coop, she loves going in there anyway.....thanks!

Does anyone need some young roos? I hate to send these guys off to the roo guy to be eaten, but I just can't keep them all.

I have

1 Black Ameraucana Roo 6 months(Split to Lavender)
1 Blue Copper Marans Roo 6 months (Nice looking guy just has some copper on his breast would be great for Olive Eggers his sisters are laying some REALLY NICE DARK EGGS too)
1 Splash Copper Marans Roo about 5+ months
1 Black Laced Red Wyandotte Roo 5+ months old
1 Blue Barred Rock Roo from my GSBR roo 3 months..... nice tight barring on him. Going to be really nice, I just can't use a Blue Roo.
1 Blue Wheaten Ameraucana Roo 6+ months old
1 Splash Cuckoo Marans Roo with feathered legs BUT I think he is carrying rec yellow legs. 12-18 months old
1 Cuckoo Marans roo (with Feathered legs) about 6-8 weeks old
2 Blue Cuckoo Marans roos (with Feathered legs) about 6-8 weeks (was has a bad foot)
2-3 Silver Laced Wyandotte roos 3+ months old (seems to be all I can hatch is roos

Oh, interesting; I did not know that either! I have 1 Maran from my NYDH, a pullet (she is looking really nice, I've very excited to see what she will lay) had not considered her going broody at any point...so many breeds, so much to learn, so nice to have ya'll here on BYC to get great info (& chickens even) from!

---
Also, hello new ppl

Looks like Springfield area has taken the lead in folks w/ chickens, obviously the rest of use will need to urgently do chicken math in order to keep up ; >

I AM doing my part on that even now, I have 24 eggs in LD in hatcher, 45 (yah overloaded) in the Bator, half a doz awaiting bator space,
& I'll admit to ah 13+3+5 in brooders in the bathroom/laundry rm atm.

Anyone else?

I know my numbers are very small time, but the funny part is when you say it , it means the exact opposite of when my DH says it ; >


Also, I only have 1 person wanting 6 EE chicks so, better I stay at numbers that do not over-alarm the DH...

 

[KandiandJerry]

Great!!!! I didn't realize that there were so many people in or close to Springfield that had chickens...I used to live down that way...on Gum Station....

Anyone looking for a Black Australorp Cockerell? I just joined BYC. I live in Rockvale, TN. Dec 31, 2012 I hatched 7 Black Australorp chicks. Two are Roos. They are 12 weeks old now. I would like to sell one of the Roos. They are very sweet. I handle them a lot. I bought 12 chicks from TSC & COOP also. They are 6 weeks old. One is an Australorp Cockerell. I'll use him the next breeding time to add new genes to the next hatch. I was very happy with my Brinsea Incubator. 100% hatch in December.
