    What kind of roo is this? Chicken newbie!

    Hey guys! New to chickens and wondering what you all think this guy is. The only info I have: • the woman we got him from said he was supposed to be a black copper maran pullet but now she doesn’t know what HE is (he’s definitely crowing I know that at least 😂) • purchased from a local feed...

    Coco, our 4 week old French Black Copper Maran; Hen or Roo?

    Coco was sexed as a female at a day old by the hatchery. However, at 4 weeks old she's presented some characteristics (large, raised pinking comb, mostly upright posture, and in comparison to my other female chick of different breeds very small/sparse tail feathers) and trying to jump on the...

    FBCM Gender ID

    Hi there! I have a 6 week old French Black Copper Maran, and I'm trying to figure out whether they are likely a pullet or cockerel! It's the only one I got in my chick order so I don't have any others to compare to. Really hoping for a female in this case since we probably can't keep a...

    French Black Copper Maran, I'm leaning towards pullet?

    Hi! I have an almost 9 week old French BCM whose gender I've been on the fence about. From the research I've done it seems like this can be a tricky breed to sex for various reasons. I originally thought she might be a cockerel because at around 2-3 weeks her comb started turning pink before her...

    10-week old French Black Copper Maran

    His name is Custard, and he is an absolute doll. So sweet and gentle! Because he turned out to be a roo, I won't be able to keep him because I don't have enough hens for him (only two!) I live in the OKC area, but I'm willing to drive and meet in OK/N. Texas area! I've rehomed my other roos in...

    Completely black French Black Copper Maran

    So I got these chicks from a private breeder of French Black Copper Marans. Of the seven there are 3 roosters. 2 have beautiful coloring and one is all black. Is that normal for a Marans Rooster? Or is he just a really masculine hen? Attached are some photos of the boys. Sorry, it was hard to...

    Chick With Injured Leg!!

    So, I have this French Black Copper Marans chick that had issues hatching. Once it hatched, I noticed that it doesn't seem to be able to pull one of her legs under her. Is it a slipped tendon? Is it broken? It's not splayed leg or curly toe. I have attached a picture. She just hatched a little...

    Rooster with REALLY Bad Vent Gleet!

    My nine-week-old French Black Copper Marans Roo has not been looking good. He had Coccidiosis a few weeks ago and has been treated. Yesterday we noticed that he has a bunch of yellowish-white stuff stuck to the vent feathers. We quarantined him away from the flock. He's not eating and isn't...
