Hello to everyone who is reading this, I hope you are having a great day!
For over a month now I have had a broody hen, a BCM named Copper. She has been really devoted to laying on her eggs, but my hens all fight over one nesting box even though they have 3 identical ones, so she lets them lay...
Hey everyone! Im excited to join this group. I currently have 19 chickens. I bought a 13 week old black copper maran yesterday and she had the chicken in a box ready for pickup so I didn't really get a good look at the feathers until today and now I'm worried it could be a rooster! What do yaal...

I have 5 BCM chicks. 2 are 7 weeks and 3 are 6 weeks. The 2 oldest chicks are roosters but I can’t tell with the younger three. One has copper feathering coming through around its neck but the comb is a light color and no waddles. There is a huge difference between the older two and the younger...
I bought this guy from tsc. Not sure if he was an andalusian or black copper maran but I swear I bought him as a black copper maran. Attached is another rooster I was gifted. Not sure what he is either. And he also has feathered legs. What are they lol the last one I believe Is a giant hen. She...
I've ordered 1 maran roo and 25 rir to just have a fun experiment 😀. I'm looking to breed a more frequent layer of dark brown eggs. I know some have done this but I'm curious about egg color. Does anyone have any photos?
Aloha,
I am in search of some quality Black Copper Maran chicks. I currently live on Maui and I’m looking for a breeder willing to ship day old chicks to me. Due to the Maui Wildfires, I lost my Maran flock that was established 8 years ago from chicks that I found on this forum. I can’t...
I hatched a BCM from an egg, which was a coppery colour, but this little things has a lot of white on them. Is this still considered a BCM or have I been played?
8 week old “black copper marans” from TSC. The one on the left definitely appears to be. The one on the right has different skin, iridescent black feathers and does not have copper neck feathers. What did I get??
We have 12 chicks that we sourced straight run from Alchemist Farm. I am going to post them separately so that any experts in each breed can provide guidance.
I am pretty sure these are 5 black copper marans. And also looks like we have some roosters.
Multiple photos of each and they are...
Hi there! I've much enjoyed stumbling upon threads of weekly chick growth/progression so I figured its finally time to throw my hat in the ring! I purchased all sexed pullets and I'm pretty sure I have 1 or more cockerels on my hands (so it goes).
I'm a first time chicken owner in a residential...
I have a Lavender Orpington Roo and a Black Copper Maran hen as well as 2 other lavender Orpington hens.
If the Lavender roo mates the black maran hen, what do I end up with?
Hi all,
What do you think?? He or she?? There are 2 Lavender Orpingtons, 1 Black Copper maran, and 1 Buff Orpington.
They are all the same age, approximately 2 weeks old.
The Lavender Orpingtons are pullets, according to my grandma. What do you think about the other two?
Hi all!
I have some roos that I got as part of an order from Greenfire that I need a new home for! They are rare breeds so I would rather rehome them than eat them!
I have 1 Gold Deathlayer male, 2 Silver Deathlayer males, and 1 Black Copper Maran male. All of them are in excellent health...
New chick owner here, we have 4 mixed chicks that are almost 5 weeks old and are starting to worry about having a rooster due to neighbours etc.
Long story short, we got given an egg at a carnival and ended up incubating it and out hatched Jazzi!! We THINK she is a salmon Faverolle? And if so...
