Yes, the chick you are asking about is a male.

Agreed. The male is Birchen with gold leakage. He also looks to be Blue. Like Donna, I also think that your Splash Marans is silver. You could breed him back to your Splash Marans and see what you get. I would think that you would get more Birchens, however; do not be surprised if some, or all...

Not sure what you will get with the Buff Orp, or RIR, but, can say that the babies that come from the Black Copper crossed to the Barred Rock hen will be as follows: Males will be black, and have a larger white dot on their head when dried off after hatch. Female will/should have a small white...

Hi Ihilani and Ray! Hope both of you are doing great! Hoping very soon to have some baby Marans running around this place again thanks to 2 very good chicken friends. Can't wait to have some fuzzy butts and get started rebuilding my flock. :)

Ms. Wynette! How are you? School is out now for winter break so I have a little time to catch up on BYC. Wish I had some Marans eggs to share photos of, but not. At least the mountain lion has not been back for over month now. Final head count for the lion was 1 goat, 1 goose, 1 cat and 14 chickens.

Hello! Hello! Hello Marans People! :frow

HI EVERYONE!!!!!! Hope all you Marans lovers are doing great! Been a while since I popped by to say hey, it was time. Down to 2 pullets after the mountain lion fiasco and of course neither one of them has ever given up an egg. Wish they would, they are plenty old enough, but I know the chaos...

Look forward to the photos!

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this idea with me Shannon! After homework is done today I am going to get my "tree chicken catcher" ready. I didn't even think of trying to get them after dark. :)

:D That is SWEET!!!!!! Set me up buttercup! Are your Blues laying really well for you right now? What varieties do you have available currently? This calls for an Eco-glow brooder!

I hope someone else comes by to advise you. I do not have enough experience with Birchens and still not 100% clear on how silver works. I only have a couple years semi- experience with Birchens....my experience lies only in hatching and raising them long enough to see faults that I did not want...

Thanks for checking in with me.....I wish I had some news from the Fish and Game, but I have not heard a word from them. Yes, the camera's finally got a picture, it is a mountain lion. Has only been back twice, instead of nightly like it was last week........however, it is not finding any...

Your male in the photo is Birchen (which means that he carries silver and red genetics) if bred to BCM, pure BCM will not be produced. Birds that have both silver and red genetics will be produced. Some of the offspring will show silver, some will show silver and gold (like your male) and some...

I would gladly take a couple blue boys. How on earth would we get them here? :)

Oh yes.....that's right. I nearly forgot that you hold the record for hatching roo's. ;)

Thanks for the positive thoughts everyone! I contacted Fish and Wildlife yesterday. They are going to have someone call me back. Good thing they are state run and not federal......and still open for business. We do have large dogs outside, they only bark from the front porch. Dear hubby is ready...

Sorry about that....... but do not get discouraged, just get some more eggies.:D I had a year that it seems as though the only thing I could hatch was roosters. It just happens like that sometimes.

Upthecreek~ Shannon I hope you are doing fabulous! Thanks for the well wishes, right back at you my friend! How are you coming along with your Marans? I am having a scary several days and have predator issues. We believe it is a mountain lion and from the thing I saw glaring back at me from...

First photo is a male and second photo is a female.

All roo's. :( :hide
