I thought it would be fun to share this video of my rooster, Odin, singing back and forth with my Wyandotte hen as she laid her egg (you can hear her a little bit, too).
Hi All,
So i picked up some “purebred black copper maran” chicks this summer. I’ve got 3 hens, 2 of which look like they are purebred but then i’ve got this girl who’s got some fuzzy cheeks! any guesses to what she is? or what color of eggs she’ll lay?
Greetings everyone. My name is poppy jones.
I live in cannonsville reservior area . We have a 5 acre land that turned into a farm these past three years.We bought a tractor this spring and expanded the planting to about 2 1/2 acres of veggies of all kinds.
This spring we added chickens, 17 red...
Hi All,
I started with adopted six mix hens and one silkie rooster from my aunt. She moved-in with her kids, and could not take the flock with her. Now 6 month latter I already added an additional 6 Black copper marans and 3 ayam ketawa (laugling chicken). During this short time of raising...
I apologize. I posted earlier a picture of my other BCM and just realized THIS is the one I had the most questions about.
So I bought “her” ( ??? ) while she was a baby. Was told she was a black copper maran. Where the rest of my flock are now starting to get a little red on their faces and...
I was sold this little as a baby. Literally just today I noticed she was just now starting to get a little red on her face. Comb is still small and black. Feathered legs. I was told she was a BCM but wasn’t exactly sure as her comb and wattles were always black! Just getting a little color on...
I have some strong ideas on breed and gender but I wanted to see what you all thought about it. Pretty sure I’ve got a barred rock, White Cochin, golden laced wyandotte, black copper marans, and a mystery brown chick. They are all supposed to be rare or brown egg layers and they came from Murry...
Hello!
I have a Black Copper Maran rooster and he is the only one i have of that breed. I wanted to use his genetics but am worried about his temperament. He is way too rapey towards my girls. They don't want to be around him because of it.
What do you think, will his male offspring display...
12-week old Black Copper Marans cockerel from Greenfire Farms breeding line available - $25. Also have a couple of four-week old likely cockerels from Greenfire’s French National champion line but need a few more weeks to be certain of sex. DM if interested
This is a 7 week old BC Maran. My question is what is going on with it’s feathers? It is hard to photograph but they almost look frizzled. The shaft is extremely fine, the feathers curl and seem fuzzy. Has anyone had a bird like this? Does this go away with maturity?
Looking for Double Laced Silver Barnevelder. Black Copper Marans, and Lavender Orpington hatching eggs. Hoping someone sells (and ships to MA) 2 or even all 3 of these. Must be purebred and a good SOP-centered breeding program :jumpy:fl
Hello! I am VERY interested in getting Black Copper Marans in a few years (Those EGGS!), but I strongly dislike feathered legs (No offense, but I like my chicken legs sleek lol). Are Marans without feathered legs bred often? Would they be difficult to obtain via hatching eggs or from a breeder...
Just curious I have a cockerel that his dad is black copper marans , mom olive egger . What does that make him? Still an olive egger ? Or just a mut lol ? Either way hes pretty and a jerk lol
Hey everybody,
The storm has taken two of my FBCM pullets already, which leaves me with just one at 12 weeks old.
So if anybody happens to have any, I’d love to pick up 2 or 3 more after the storm passes.
I’m located in west palm beach Florida.
hi! My name’s Jackie, this is my first post. I’m in WA, and we just got our first chicks this year. I bought 2 olive eggers and 2 black copper marans from a local farm (plus 2 ameraucanas from our farm store). The farmer put 4 black, nearly identical chicks in the box and I don’t know which is...

I had chickens when I was 10 or 11, typical feed store brown layers we got as pullets and 2 chicks that were all black and lovely but we had no idea what the breed was. Unfortunately a racoon took out the whole flock one day and I moved on to bees.
I've used BYC for information since I began...
Hey everybody,
So this is my first time with BCM and I hatched out four of them about four weeks ago.
Well, even right now they’ve started to show wattle and comb difference and I think I have one boy, two girls, and one unsure.
I have some pictures of each:
First girl
Second girl...
Located near Baltimore(BWI)
I have chicks of several breeds available, just need to find a home for these little ones. They hatched on the 23rd and 24th, so just about one week old, they have been vaccinated for Mareks. This is our first hatch and we started with 18 and ended with 12. Of the...
Does anyone know where I can obtain pictures of the different breeds of chicks I have, at multiple stages? I am finding 1-day-old chick pictures and adult pictures, nothing in-between. I'm trying to figure out who is who as they grow since I seem to have ordered multiple breeds that look so...
