    What is she?

    This is supposed to be a Black Copper Marans but looks nothing like my other Black Copper Marans seen in the back of the 1st pic. Today, she started growing a crest.

    BCM Chick development, male vs female

    Ok, so I've got these two, 4wk old fancy bcms. I am half convinced one is a cockerel and the other is a pullet. The thing is the one who looks and behaves like a pullet is quite bigger than the "cockerel". The "cockerel" is way feistier and more challenging to my other isbar cockerels. Also...

    BCM 6 week old what gender?

    I bought some straight run chicks. These two are about 6 weeks old and the absolute sweetest. Either way I’m keeping them but if they are cockerels I’d like to get a few pullets. Thanks for any help!

    Potential egg color from new rooster

    Hello! I recently acquired a cockerel who’s mom is a black copper Marans and dad is an ameracauna. I am wondering if he breeds with my EE if the chicks could be olive eggers or if they will carry the blue egg gene.
