So I have two black copper marans chicks. The breeder says that all of hers get pink/red combs and waddles early. The boys I guess just get larger as they get older obviously. I thought I probably had two cockerels bc compared to my other chicks they have large legs and pinker combs.
Then I...
Hey guys! I'm looking for a black copper marans cockerel or rooster hatched from a DARK brown egg. I have some splash girlies that would love a male friend! I'd prefer to pick up at least semi locally but I would be willing on paying for shipment if necessary. I'm located in Miami Florida. I...
Hello. I moved to the country a year and a half ago, and finally have time this summer for a garden and some chickens (not together, I've heard).
Last week, I bought eight 2-to-3-week-old chicks: 3 Black Wyandottes, 2 Ameraucanas, 3 Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. These are living in my...
I have a BCM I'd like to use to incubate / raise my own meat birds. What do you suggest crossing him with to get a decent sized, somewhat faster growing offspring? Ideally, I'd love hens of a breed that also lays a decent amount of eggs. But then I fear I'd be sacrificing the genetics that...
I'm looking to purchase 12-24 French Black Copper Maran chicks, and or eggs.

Thank you. Angela

So, I’m very confused. What’s the different between black and black copper marans? I just bought a breed duo and the top and the hen are both solid black. No copper. Now I’m very confused to as if I got the wrong breed.. worst of all they cost me 75$!! With black marans, do they lay the same...
Hi all,
I’m located in Northwest Arkansas and am looking to add to my flock of 8. Would prefer to add pullets that are already outside, no brooder babies. Looking for Marans (especially black copper but would like all kinds), Easter Eggers or Ameraucanas, Cream Legbars, Welsummers, Olive Eggers...
Hello all! I hope I'm not repeating a thread, but I've spent over an hour searching through the forums to avoid doing so... but I have what I hope is a quick question:
I have 16 Wade Jean line Black Copper Marans chicks at 4 weeks old now. When should they be losing the white on their faces...
As suggested, here are better pics, and a few days older which have brought some changes.

I am located in Southern California, but if shipped willing to get from anywhere. I am looking for chicks, or pullets, not really interested in trying to hatch eggs.
Don't care for body composition as much as I would really like chickens capable of laying at least an 8 on color scale. The...
Thanks for adding me. My question is to the breeders out there. I placed an order with a hatchery before I read this forum and found out that breeders such as are found on this website produce genetically superior chickens than hatcheries do. I'm looking for six friendly, quiet hens to start a...
We moved from town to the family farm a year ago. One of the things we wanted to do is raise a few chickens. Besides the tremendous benefit of a few fresh eggs, we have a terrible problem with ticks in our area. In fact, I spent most of the last summer (with Lyme's disease). In fact, a few...
I'm a new chicken mom, and I've been really quite surprised by how many of my BCM's I have lost and I'm wondering if maybe they shouldn't be allowed to free range or if there is some trick to raising them? I love the BCM's so I got 7 of them, I'm down to 3 (only 1 pullet left out of 4 darn!!!)...
Hello Everyone! A few weeks ago I posted some photos of a new rooster that I bought from a local farm and an Olive Egger hen whose eggs I wanted to hatch. I admit, I am interested in green and blue eggs. My chickens are not pure breed chickens. I study up on correlations and genetics and I...
Hi, I've been scouring the internet for any Black Copper Marans and Ameraucana chicks for sale at the most one hour away from me. I live in Cleveland, Texas. I'd prefer them being 6-8 weeks old, so they can go with my other chicks, or ONE day olds. If possible, I'd like 1 male BLK CPR Maren, and...
