Hello, everyone!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Not new to chickens, had them for most of my life. I first got some baby chicks when I was a little girl and it was love at first peep!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I currently have two mama hens...
I am completely new to chickens. Always wanted some but waiting for bigger property we own and will build on. However, we recently had a Mama hen come into our current yard with 12 baby chicks. After some research, I believe she is an Iowa Blue Hen. After further research and comparing pictures...
UPDATE: All boys have a new home together
I am in need of giving these 3 roosters a new home since I have 8 other boys. They are 17 1/2 weeks old. They can be re-homed separately and I can only re-home to local people such as Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. I will not be...
I hatched white legbar, Black Copper Marans and silkie cockerels. I am planning on keeping 3 silkies, one BCM and the white legbar in a separate coop/run from the girls. They were hatched together and brooded together for a couple of weeks. However, they are now in separate brooders (silkies in...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the group and was hoping...
Hello Backyard Chickens Community!
I have tried my hands at hatching my own chickens and I have a problem. I'm on day 22 1/2 but I have 13 eggs with not one pip. As far as I know the temperature has always been spot on, humidity has always been good and until day 18 they were in an egg turner...
I've had my eye on this one for weeks and I am suspicious that I may have a roo. Comparing this one to the sister I can see that the legs are thicker and the comb and wattle is more pink/red. This week the feathers are really starting to convince me that it's a cockerel. Thanks in advance for...

I just wanted to post a picture of what my BCM eggs are looking like. I have 2 pullets from MPC that just started laying and so far this is what I have. (The 2 in the middle). I hope this helps someone in case they're wondering and anticipating chicks of their own. I do have BCM chicks from a...
Hey everyone:) So almost 6 weeks ago I bought Olandsk Dwarf chicks and I also bought 3 Black Copper Marans. I was wondering if you guys could help me sex the 3 Maran chicks. I know I have one rooster and I am pretty sure one is a female. I do not know if the one with the floppy looking comb is a...
Does anyone have any Black Copper Marans X Cornish hybrids? If so do they retain the somewhat dark egg colour of the Marans or does it look like a standard grocery store brown egg? Does breeding a Cornish rooster to Marans hens yield sex linked birds? I'm looking to have meet birds who have eggs...
I have several 15 week old purebred Black Copper Marans roosters to sell in Wallis, Texas. Make me an offer. Pick up in Wallis, Tx at Susan’s Little Chicken House
A lot of people have different experiences with roosters, and of course there are a lot of different acting roosters, but today I wanna write about my experience with some. Of course this may not work for everybody’s birds, but it’s worked for mine so worth a try, right?
So I’ve had both my...
Hello, I recently ordered 10 Blue Birchen Marans from Greenfire. They sent 14 beautiful, healthy chicks: ten are blue, 2 are splash, and 2 are black. So here's my question: are the black classified as Black Copper? And if so, will they have darker egg genes than the Blue Birchen? I can't figure...
Hi! I'm new to BackYard Chickens.
I've raised chicken for years now, but I am wanting to learn more about different breeds. I am very interested in the Black Copper Marans and the Olive Layers. I love the dark chocolate and olive look of the eggs. I am thinking seriously thinking about...
I have (6) cockerels that need to be rehomed. I found homes for two of them at this time, but need to find homes for the rest. They are black copper marans/cream legbar mixes. About 4 months old. Just starting to crow and messing with my hens.
I posted this thread in 8 wks and up forum but these guys are free to good home. Pair of well bred black copper marans roosters in Virginia, raised together. They are sweet as can be.
Got some new babies yesterday and I’m soooo excited! I have a variety of breeds to ensure year round egg laying. The ones I’m most excited about are my ameraucanas! Just really wanted to show my babies off, what do y’all think?
