french black copper maran

Hello! I wanted to share my positive McMurray experience with you guys. I ordered 15 chicks last month with a May 6th hatch date. I paid the extra $57 for priority loading. I had them ship all the way to California so I definitely wanted that. On May 6th I got an email that they hatched and...

Day old olive egger. Sex-linked, French Black Copper Marans roo x Crested Cream Legbar hen. Male has white dot on top of his head and a small crease.

Hi all starting this thread pre-emptively as I'll be getting my chicks in the next couple of days. (Anxiously waiting on shipping to be updated as it's been 12+ hours with no movement lol). I know I need to be patient but I'm anxiety ridden cause shipping not being updated has happened on my...

Hi there! I have a 6 week old French Black Copper Maran, and I'm trying to figure out whether they are likely a pullet or cockerel! It's the only one I got in my chick order so I don't have any others to compare to. Really hoping for a female in this case since we probably can't keep a...

Hi! I have an almost 9 week old French BCM whose gender I've been on the fence about. From the research I've done it seems like this can be a tricky breed to sex for various reasons. I originally thought she might be a cockerel because at around 2-3 weeks her comb started turning pink before her...

11 week old (as of the first week of June) French Black Copper Marans sweet gentleman looking for a new home. Great bloodlines from Alchemist Farm, https://www.alchemistfarm.com/black-copper-marans/, guaranteed to be from an egg 6 or darker. Located in East Bay, California.

His name is Custard, and he is an absolute doll. So sweet and gentle! Because he turned out to be a roo, I won't be able to keep him because I don't have enough hens for him (only two!) I live in the OKC area, but I'm willing to drive and meet in OK/N. Texas area! I've rehomed my other roos in...

this is custard, and we bought her from a local farm with 80-85% sexing as a pullet. we've never had this breed before and curious if she's looking like a pullet so far? thank you!

So I got these chicks from a private breeder of French Black Copper Marans. Of the seven there are 3 roosters. 2 have beautiful coloring and one is all black. Is that normal for a Marans Rooster? Or is he just a really masculine hen? Attached are some photos of the boys. Sorry, it was hard to...

Here are 3 french copper marans that are 5 weeks old, i'm thinking 'ive got roos but not sure about one. Please help determine gender.

Hi all! I'm a new member but long time article reader of this site, I've seen it quoted on many other articles and sites before. I'm a small registered keeper and breeder of French black copper maran, cuckoo maran, marbar and some other cross breeds predominantly for egg colour. I keep Irish...

So, I have this French Black Copper Marans chick that had issues hatching. Once it hatched, I noticed that it doesn't seem to be able to pull one of her legs under her. Is it a slipped tendon? Is it broken? It's not splayed leg or curly toe. I have attached a picture. She just hatched a little...

My nine-week-old French Black Copper Marans Roo has not been looking good. He had Coccidiosis a few weeks ago and has been treated. Yesterday we noticed that he has a bunch of yellowish-white stuff stuck to the vent feathers. We quarantined him away from the flock. He's not eating and isn't...

Hello, if I breed a French black copper maran with black copper maran would they still be pure or are they considered different?

Hi I'm new to raising chickens and this website but it has been very helpful since I started chickening March 17th. If my research is right, I accidentally got a Maran in with my Barred Rocks from the farm store. Can anyone tell me if it's a French Black Copper Maran or a Cuckoo Maran (feathered...

Hi, I’m brand new to raising chickens and I’ve had so much fun already but.....I bought 6 black sex link baby chicks April 1st so they are 9 weeks now. They look just like the pictures I see of French Black Copper Marans. Is there anyone who can tell me if these are the Black Sex Link I thought...

We have 3 baby Maran chicks we hatched from our flock. We know it is early to know the sex, but we have fun guessing with the kids. Would love to know what you think/guess!? First 2 are of our grey Maran which hatched on 4/30. Next 3 are of black and white faced which hatched on 5/8. And last 3...

I’m positive he’s a maran easter egger he loves to sit in my lap and he is very docile and friendly and sweet he’s a little bit shy sometimes he’s very pretty and colorful. I recently read more about the maran side and noticed that their very rare and that he fits the description of the French...
