    Strange air pocket in candled egg

    Hi all, I'm looking for some community input on the candling of an egg. I am letting my broody hen sit on four Marans eggs in a part of an outdoor coop that is separate from the other hens but open to the ambient air. Tonight marked the end of day 18, so I candled the eggs under her. The ambient...

    Belefielders and Marans

    Hello, I have Belefielder hens and a Black Copper Marans rooster. I was wondering if anyone has ever crossed these two breeds before? If so, do you have pictures? What do the eggs look like? I am curious to know if they would be worth incubating. I have a single blue Marans hen and she is the...

    Marans or Wyandotte?

    Hi, we have 6 week old pullets. The gold laced wyandotte and the cuckoo marans look very similar. (Is this normal at this age?) We are trying to tell the two apart, and the most distinctive aspect is their chirps. One of them has a softer chirp and calms down readily when held, the other does...

    Australorp? Maran? Other?? What is she...

    This is Poppy. I thought she was a Black Australorp when we got her, but I have since gotten another Black Australorp and she looks nothing like Poppy. I’m hoping she is a Maran but there’s been some debate. She has always been almost entirely black except for her chin/chest, black feet and...

    PNW homestead

    Hi, I'm a homesteader on 9 acres in the PNW. I had a small commercial flock, about 300 hens, of pastured layers in California before heading north to do things on a smaller scale. I brought my "hobby" flock with me, along with a few Muscovys, sheep, goats, retired horses, dogs, and cats. After...

    Beginner breeder advice

    Hi y’all! So I’ve been reading, researching, and raising chickens for the passed 3 years. Now I am looking to get more in depth and start breeding some of the harder to find breeds in this area. The three breeds I have decided on are black copper Marans, BBS Marans, Cream Legbars, and Svart...

    Hello everyone. I also have black and blue copper marans eggs available. My eggs are between a 5-7 on the color scale with my black copper being the darkest eggs available. My hens are gorgeous! As with any eggs no guarantee on hatching rates but dry hatching has always worked in my favor. I...

    Cream Egg x Reddish Brown Egg Layer

    Has anyone on here done a cross between a cream egg laying breed and a dark laying breed with red tones? (For example: Marans, Penedesenca, Welsummer, Croad Langshan, etc) I know there are many variations in the colors of the dark layers, so I'm specifically asking regarding the red toned eggs...

    Bald bottom and stopped laying!

    Around October my 10 month old Marans based hybrid stopped laying. Despite being a hybrid that is supposed to lay through winter, I just put this down to a reduction in daylight hours and thought no more of it. She did lay two unexpected eggs last week, meanwhile my other girls have carried on...

    Happy New Year, Chicken People!

    I'm new to chicken keeping and currently have six chickens: two roosters and four hens. They are a Dominique and Marans mix given to me as chicks by my "Chicken Mentor" and are less than a year old. I'm planning on expanding the flock in the spring, most likely with pure Marans, but am keeping...
