    Cuckoo Marans or Blue Cuckoo Marans?

    I love mine. They are my most healthy, beautiful chickens. They aren't the most prolific layer and mine tend to go broody, but their eggs are so pretty and consistent.

    My Barnevelders lay beautiful, satin sheen eggs every time. I know what you mean, just pretty :)

    Ick factor

    I guess at first I did, but now I think about store bought as ick. I still eat them, of course, but I totally prefer my own flock's eggs.

    Hen walking backwards and raising her feet to her chest

    I don't see an attachment here, but maybe I can offer advice as far as during molting. I had a hen that was my healthiest hen, but when she went through her first hard molt she had issues walking. She would walk backward, then side to side like she was drunk. It was like she was winding up to...

    After Lash Egg

    I love that you say this. I can't tell you how frustrating it was in the Facebook groups when nearly everyone would scream "OMG it is literally staph!! Wash and disinfect your hands, then disinfect the whole coop, nest boxes and run! Highly contagious!!" I had to leave those groups, just...

    It's a crapshoot to be honest. I had almost a mirror situation, but in my case I chose Cockerel A because he was so docile with the girls and me. Turns out to be the biggest A-hole to me later down the road. I don't think they fully show their true personality until they reach 8-12 months old...

    Please breed and sex of this?

    I definitely see it is a female now. Also, still going with Minorca or Andalusian. They are Mediterranean breeds and this one definitely has the comb and wattles of this variety. Very pretty.

    Please breed and sex of this?

    Could be a Black Minorca or Black Andalusian. Either way it looks male.

    Did I ruin my jars of eggs by waterglassing incorrectly?

    I opened them up a while back and they were definitely bad lol The smell was horrible. I made a couple more containers up the correct way and they are holding up. I agree, never a bad thing to be prepared for anything.

    Guessing game!

    Oh! Well I also have 3 of those from Ideal. They were sold as Blue Cuckoo Marans, but I see no cuckoo pattern on mine, maybe faintly. But anyway, yours is probably some kind of Marans 🥰

    Guessing game!

    Ideal has Blue Australorp or Blue Marans. Possibly one of those. Very pretty!
