I just brought home 26 hatchlings! I am over the moon happy. I paid a lady to incubate them and she rocked it out of the park.
My rooster is a paint ameraucana EE with autosomal red + lavender split. Hens are BYC unless listed below.
11 of the chicks are paints - 6 are black spotted, the other...
I have various chicken, duck, Guinea and Turkey hatching eggs in central Mississippi.
Chicken breeds are: Eastereggers, olive eggers, Ameraucana, French Black Copper Marans, Zombie, Ayam Cemani
If you are interested, please message me.
I am new to chickens, and I recently received 2 Black Copper Marans as day old chicks. Around 5 weeks, I started to see a difference in one of my BCMs. S/he started to sprout a little pink comb and wattles, so I figured I must have a roo. Now at 9 weeks, I am back to think s/he might be a pullet...
Of course she/he is my favorite. I'm new to chickens and have 3 BCM. This one is the only one with copper on its neck. No other copper on wings or tail. 12 weeks old. Hoping it's a hen so I can keep it. 😭 Any insights into sex?
Hey there! Currently we only have two hens, one RIR from McMurray that we raised ourselves and is almostttt 15 weeks I believe (shipped out week of June 3rd and I believe we got them that Thursday), and one that we were told was a 1.5 year old maran (I didn’t ask which kind and we’re newbies to...
Hey guys! New to chickens and wondering what you all think this guy is. The only info I have:
• the woman we got him from said he was supposed to be a black copper maran pullet but now she doesn’t know what HE is (he’s definitely crowing I know that at least 😂)
• purchased from a local feed...
Hello everyone! So as the title says, we have a BCM chick that has white where the copper color should be. It's also missing the leg feathers that our other BCM have. What happened with this chick?
Our BCM come from two separate lines. One line consists of a single hen with dark copper color...
im having trouble telling the gender of my two bym bcm also if anyone can help, funny thing is when they were younger i thought the bigger one was the rooster and the smaller one was the hen, but now i think its the other way around because the smaller sounds like it crows now
Just wanted to share some of my recent hatches. Most of these are all silkie mixes but are thankfully growing more like full sized chicks. My favorite is the prairie bluebell egger that is starting to frizzle. Can’t wait to see how they all grow!! The BCM silkie mix has huge feathers on its feet.
Hey all. I have some five week old purebred BCM chicks. I’m 90% sure about 90% of the chicks lol except this one. Comb is slightly darker pink than the other pullets but wattles are pink/red. Size is similar to the other pullets in the group. I’m thinking late blooming cockerel? Any thoughts?
I have three baby black coppet marans, born May 20 (so I know it's early). I'm leaning toward #3 being a boy. I know the obvious male copper spots on the shoulders when I see them but is there anything else I can look for?
Hello,
Thank you in advance to anyone who can provide any insight as to the Gender of my 3 baby chicks. I started keeping chickens last year, but my original batch of chicks turn out to have a lot of boys, so this spring I was looking to add more ladies to my flock.
These three chicks are 8...
Hi everyone!
I’m looking to invest in some quality BCM hatching eggs preferably local to where I live but I’m willing to pay for shipped eggs as well if they meet my standards. I live in lower mainland area in BC Canada.
I found one breeder on Vancouver island called “Elaine’s fertilized eggs”...
Hi everyone! I have two separate broods of chicks growing right now. One set is 2 weeks old and with a momma hen, the other batch is 8 weeks old and was just weaned. All are with the main flock since I hate integrating birds.
The older chicks are all marans mixes (BCM and chocolate marans) and...
So I’m starting an olive egger project and am considering using a blue copper maran roo to cover Americanas and whiting true blue hens. My question is, I will also have chocolate Orpingtons as well and was curious if I had the blue copper maran roo cover the chocolate Orp girls, wouldn’t the...
I've ordered 1 maran roo and 25 rir to just have a fun experiment 😀. I'm looking to breed a more frequent layer of dark brown eggs. I know some have done this but I'm curious about egg color. Does anyone have any photos?
