I kept my 2 silver black (birchen) males in with my black coppers this year for winter heat. I didn't have enough birchens for them to be alone in the other coop. Anyways, the false spring has crept up on me, now eggs everywhere. I'm moving the silver boys today. I keep a closed flock so I wont...

Hey missed you guys! I've been steadily raising my black coppers <3 and working on improving egg color. If anyone has dark egg layers and also raises black silvers (also wanting to build those project numbers) please reach out to me, I'd love to chat.

Marans Chicken Club USA recently commissioned artwork for club use from leigh edwards of the newly APA recognized, black marans. What do you think...?

missed you guys. Chooksman so thankful to see you back! I think you have no idea how much you have helped us all understand the breed in a holistic way. USA marans scene is kinda misinformed eh. I've been away from the thread for awhile myself, having lost my best friend in my profile pic, truly...

up to 12 chicks hatched by my broodies!!

hey guys i've been trying to keep up with the thread!! @kfelton0002 I give you a lot of respect for your outlook on working with your birds. I think that is how you learn about the breed the best and I hope to have the same progress you've had. I have this problem too, contemplate taking...

I have a dumb blue copper hen from Brinkhaven like that I think. She like stopped growing but isnt full size. Yeah don't buy chicks from them! It was when I didn't even order blue copper and then they said it was a yellow marans like wth is that LOL remember that?!

having a hard time choosing between two black copper back ups. I need to decide soon because I've let them grow out. THey look SO alike and I have not really learned their individual personalities they way I do with most birds bc mr.lee took care of them. Making it really hard to decide who I...

thanks for further explaining this! I did look over the inheritance charts before commenting on here before but I wanted to be sure. Thanks for your advice and information!!

thanks for explaining this!! choooksman can you confirm for us? Right that was my thought. Even though I don't really know anywhere near as much on genetics as you all do. It did not seem sensical to me in plain logic to have copper present anywhere when a person is attempting to get a birchen...

whelp, :( couldn't stay away for long, guys. I would love to report that after much rest and relaxation my chicken troubles have ended...........but it seems the saga of disappointment continues. So I am here to get some help (and hopefully some advice) from people more experienced than I am...

Hi Richard, this thread quite frequently has people POP in to ask "where can i get xyz" and I would argue this is common of any breed thread. I have noticed that these requests tend to get ignored because of the frequency and the effort in response (by effort I mean listing all the potential...

on that same point, does anyone have information on why it seems so much more difficult to get a black birchen chick with dark hatch down? I feel like my birchens are way more white on the down than compared to my coppers. I will post photos of the little guys to show you what I mean later. I...
