Similar happenings here in coastal SC. When my daughter was about 7 she was on grandmas laptop, she turned and asked "Where are our Alligator pictures, oh nevermind I know... Alligator.com. " She's 26 now and we still laugh about that.

I understand that you can't harass wildlife, and I'd be nervous going near the pool, but if I had one in my pool for more than a day I give the pool a good shock treatment of chlorine. That's not harassment it's normal "pool maintenance". I'm sure it needs it if there's a coon floating in...

Hopefully he found something easier somewhere else and lost interest. If not then You are on his nightly patrol and he will keep coming and testing the wire and latches until there are no more chickens, he gets run over, pushed out or killed by a more dominant animal, possibly one of your human...

Yep, they came in a fried chicken box and we had a severe thunderstorm so I had no power in the brooder. I was keeping them warm with the kerosene lamp.

Welcome Jamie, I'm south of you in Beaufort during the week and Charleston most weekends. I have Cream Legbars, and I 3D printed some chicken arms the other day. Coincidence...I don't think so 🤓

Of the Black Copper Marans I ordered some are solid black, some have copper feathering coming in and 2 are dilute and look powdery bluish. More likely genetic variation rather than some sort of mix up.

I have been pretty sure I had four cockerels ever since I picked them up from the Post Office. The second from the left looks to be the maybe cockerel #5

Ok, bought 4 Cream Legbar at Tractor Supply on Sunday on the way home from my Mom's house in Charleston, gotta stop using them as my rest stop. Bathroom breaks and chicken math don't add up.

Of course they won't hold still for pictures. One of my mayby's won't hold still but is developing a lot of copper aon the neck but has a smallish yellow pink comb. I'll try for a better picture in the morning.

So my ten French Black Copper Marans are eight weeks old, got them in the mail on June 1st. I have two Cockerels with large red combs and copper feathering coming in and one started crowing. Now there are these to others that are looking like Cockerels, but have no copper in them yet. Is the...
