    Help identifying 12 week BCM

    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?

    Do eggs change color over time?

    My Noir Marans hen just layed her first egg (yay)! I thought Noir Marans were supposed to lay dark chocolate brown eggs but this one is very light brown. Any chance her eggs will darken as she continues to lay or is this the color they'll be forever? Thanks!

    Which breed of rooster is this?

    I purchased black stars, black copper marans and midnight majesty marans from the feed store. One of them turned out to be a rooster. Could you please help identify what breed the rooster is? He is about 16 weeks old.

    Sexing Black Copper Marans chicks

    Hi. Two Black Copper Marans chicks born on MAY 31st : I think they are tiny roosters : at 1-week-old, no feather was emerging from their tail... and I could be mistaken, but at 26-days-old, their comb looks kind of big...? (It should mean they are boys, right?) I'm hoping for at least one...

    Greenfire Farms Black Copper Marans

    I hatched out these two BCM chicks- do I have two cockerels here or one of each? They’re 3 weeks old. Can take more pictures. The one with the slightly bigger comb has some brown coming through on the wings.

    Hi from South Carolina and need help with rehoming cockerel

    Hi – I’m Cynthia, a newbie backyard chicken parent. Henny Penny showed up in July 2022 and stayed. We thought we’d like a few hens once we retired, but that little stray accelerated the process. As the name (which stuck) implies, we mistook Henny for a “she” but crowing and beautiful saddle &...
