    BCM Chick development, male vs female

    Ok, so I've got these two, 4wk old fancy bcms. I am half convinced one is a cockerel and the other is a pullet. The thing is the one who looks and behaves like a pullet is quite bigger than the "cockerel". The "cockerel" is way feistier and more challenging to my other isbar cockerels. Also...

    Broody Hen Won't Adopt Chicks

    Hi All! Our broody French Black Copper Marans hen, Rowena, has been sitting on stone eggs for ten days now and is super broody. She is a year old and has been broody about six times already. Since we don't have a rooster, we've had to break her, but this time we thought bit might be fun to let...

    Hello from Ontario Canada !

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? No, I’m not new to chickens. When I was very young my mom would get me chick as a seasonal pet because she knows it won’t live long. We lived in the middle of Shanghai city. She didn’t like pets because she thinks they are dirty and...

    Finally...Olive Egger Pullets Are Laying!

    What's better than a first egg?? :wee Found this little surprise today in the run (not the nest box - naughty girl - but will let it slide because she's new to it 🙄). Hoping it means the rest of the 6.5 month old girls will start laying soon, too. The pullet egg (L) is from a blue-laying EE...

    Newbie wondering if we have hens

    Hi there! My birds are 8 weeks old now and I am feeling like they are hens but this is my first time. The double silver laced Barnevelder is fiesty and has a bit more red in its comb compared to the others so was questioning that. I know time will tell but hoping for some strong opinions one way...

    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...

    HELP! Chick with Clogged Vent!

    One of our week-old French Black Copper Marans had Pasty Butt a few days ago, so naturally, we took care of it by running warm water over it's vent. We have done this several times before and it has worked, this time it didn't. The inside of this chick's vent has been clogged and it won't poop...

    Copper Maran Breeders

    I’m looking for any French Black Copper Maran breeders near me. I live in Western Massachusetts so I’d love to learn about any breeders in Mass, Upstate New York, or Vermont—even if they don’t breed Marans. Does anyone know? Thanks!

    floating black spots in my FBCM shipped eggs

    I know that shipped eggs are a risk. I completely get it! But I can’t help but feel disappointed. I spent a good bit of money on 6 FBCM eggs from a well-known breeder. When they arrived the box was slightly smooshed. When I unwrapped everything, the breeder had sent me an extra egg! Wahoo...

    Cream Crested Legbar x French Black copper Marans - sexable?

    Ok. I blew it. I know to use Welsummers now, but that doesn't help with the chicks I have. Can sex because they are all black. If one gets a crest, that would make it a pullet - right? I think that because some are starting too and I'm thinking that might be the dominant trait from dad. At...
