Black Copper Marans

I would add more shade for them in the run. You mentioned shade in the am and pm, but mid day is when it's normally hottest out there in the sun.

I would 1/2" HC behind both of those window plastic panels first.. then add more venting as high up as possible on both sides.

And a pic of that incubator... Don't pitch that just yet, @z3lda3 . You may need it for Marans eggs. 🙂

Makes dubbing seem more logical, besides not getting big comb breeds.

Yeah, that makes it more difficult. Does the new coop have a run you could coax them into? At this point, if you could get them into the new run or coop all at once no matter what time it is. Lock them in, and keep them locked in for a couple few days to 'home' them to new coop.

You have 6 now? While they are circling their coop, scoop them up and put them in new coop. A little scratch in there might distract them from trying to flee. May have to do this for a few nights or they may associate the scratch at that same time every night and acclimate to the new coop that way.

Hope the other one hatches for you...🤞 Edited to add... If by chance it doesn't, I would suggest running to the feed store to get the little one some buddies to grow with, so it's not alone. Hatching more than just 2 eggs helps here.. But hopefully the second hatches and all is well 👍

Been trying to catch one of my 2- 10 wk olds crowing on video but the little bugger always stops when I come around. Gonna have to get sneaky stalker on him...🤣

I think your suspicions are correct. Jane is a John.

You do this all 'word of mouth', so far? I've seen some ads on CL in my area for this.

That iridescence is absolutely stunning..... Wow!! ♥️

Love their copper ♥️

Interesting question and just here to follow along for curiosity.

He's 2-3 months? I would expect crowing any time, I have 2 that are 10 weeks old tomorrow. The one started crowing between 8-9 weeks, I haven't heard the other crow yet, but the one that's crowing is the dominant of the two so that stands to a possible reason why the other isn't. No definitive...
