    My flock is finally home

    We are finally moved up to the homestead and about 90% of my flock is now up here, too. I AM SO HAPPY. For the last year, my flock has been at another farm while we were transitioning out of town and up into the homestead. They were not cared for well. Over winter, I lost 2/3 of the flock and...

    5 week old Lavender Orpington & BCM Sex?

    Hey! I have 2 lavender Orpington and 1 Black Copper Maran (I think) Chick. They are all 5 weeks old. I’m leaning to all being pullets but wondering your thoughts? The lavenders are sweet and docile but the BCM is skittish and flighty. Have has all since hatched and handled daily. Thanks!

    BCM, 4 weeks

    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?

    Copper, First Time Mama Hen Raise-Along

    Hello to everyone who is reading this, I hope you are having a great day! For over a month now I have had a broody hen, a BCM named Copper. She has been really devoted to laying on her eggs, but my hens all fight over one nesting box even though they have 3 identical ones, so she lets them lay...

    I have 5 BCM chicks. 2 are 7 weeks and 3 are 6 weeks. The 2 oldest chicks are roosters but I can’t tell with the younger three. One has copper feathering coming through around its neck but the comb is a light color and no waddles. There is a huge difference between the older two and the younger...

    Black copper maran roo x RIR

    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?

    Is this a true Copper Maran?

    I hatched a BCM from an egg, which was a coppery colour, but this little things has a lot of white on them. Is this still considered a BCM or have I been played?

    Black copper Maran… Pretty sure it’s a roo. Please prove me wrong.

    Purchased as a pullet. But crazy large feet and legs I think she may be a he. 🫤

    Maran?

    8 week old “black copper marans” from TSC. The one on the left definitely appears to be. The one on the right has different skin, iridescent black feathers and does not have copper neck feathers. What did I get??

    Weekly Growth

    Hi there! I've much enjoyed stumbling upon threads of weekly chick growth/progression so I figured its finally time to throw my hat in the ring! I purchased all sexed pullets and I'm pretty sure I have 1 or more cockerels on my hands (so it goes). I'm a first time chicken owner in a residential...
