I got 5 maran chicks from TSC but only 3 survived, and two of them have white/gray legs and one has yellow legs. I'm wondering if that's a normal thing or something else.
Maran #1
Maran #2
Maran #3
I got some chicks from tractor supply and 2 are marans. One has the comb their suppose to have while her sister has a rose comb. Did tractor supply mess up when sorting the breeds or is her comp just not growing in yet for some reason?
Hi Everyone,
I need help with gender identification, please! I have someone who is coming to get my 7 week old welsummer rooster, she rescues roosters and let's them free range on her acreage. So I was hoping to be able to identify other roosters as I can't keep all of them.
Cuckoo Maran...
His comb has a strange black thing on some of the tips, I’m not sure what it is. It is very cold outside, but he is a cold hardy breed, so I am not sure.
I have a Cuckoo Maran hen that is about 10 months old. Last week she started acting just a bit off, puffy and off to the side by herself. She had some watery poops so I brought her inside for a night with ACV and some protein (eggs/meat). That night she pooped what looked to be a small 1in long...
Hi I have 7 week old cuckoo maran chicken. Not sure if a boy or girl. Can’t have a rooster where we live and their posture is starting to resemble a rooster. What do you think? Thanks!
So... despite having added 8 chicks to our flock back in April bringing us to a total of 20, chicken math struck again and persuaded us that we need 2 cuckoo marans, 3 amererucanas and 1 white leghorn. I've wanted these breeds for a while, so no complaint... but we're at 3wks and I'm seeing...
Wondering on my breeds if any of you have these kinds around what age they layed their first eggs? Mine should be any day and I’m so excited it’s like waiting for Christmas morning. I have almost 16 week olds!
Breeds: buff brahmas (I know they are later layers)
Easter eggers

Making this thread so you can show off your peeps! Post pics and there breeds or mixes! I would also love to see cool crosses! Also hoping to get some inspo on some more potential breeds I love seeing them!
Here’s some of ours!
1) we have our Rooster who is an EE I think brown red ameracauna...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am relatively new to raising chickens though my best friend has had them for over thirty years so I feel like I've learned a lot in the past six months or so that I've been raising them. All of my birds have been raised from 2-3...
I think i have a roo but im not sure. The one i believe to be male has a very visible comb and the other three which i believe to be female have no comb. Can anyone clear this up for me? Thank you
I have a Cuckoo Maran rooster that is very pretty and has a lovely lace pattern. He was supposed to be a girl but turned out to be a boy, and we are not supposed to have roosters so we have to let him go. He's about 4 months old now and he's just starting to try to mate with the hens now. He is...
My 8 week old Cuckoo Maran has me hanging on to hope she will be a she... What do you all think? Same chicken, different angles as she ran from me. Lol.
so I was recently given two chicks from my neighbors to add to my flock, they seem about 7 or 8 weeks old so I know they're okay outside but my 3 BR and 2 RIR seem to be bullying my little white one. When should I draw the line? Cayse they're already pulling tail feathers and it's barely day...
