Can you put a link where you got the Baytril? I have been dealing with a reoccurring bumble on my girl since August, I have done everything possible except Baytril!
Lol! Yes, Cuckoo is just a color pattern that I think a few different breeds of chickens can have. It is described as more all over the place blurred lines where as barred is more defined. Maybe Dominique? Or a mix? His feather pattern looks like my Cuckoo Marans Roo but Marans do not have...
Are you positive he is a barred Plymouth Rock? Just curious because his feather pattern looks more like the cuckoo pattern to me. I am definitely not an expert and maybe barred rocks look like that before their teenage molt. I never had barred rocks so not sure. Curious though 😁
If you have Facebook you should look up “The Adventures of Cotton the House Rooster”. She has had her Roo Cotton indoors for quite a few years and seems like she has things down pat with him. I bet she would be willing to answer any questions you have or advise/tips to give you if you reach out...
I’m sorry, that is really hard! I had gotten 8 chics all whom were supposed to be pullets and ended up with 2 Roos in the bunch as well. The Speckled Sussex Roo attacked this one pictured so he was rehomed immediately. The cuckoo Marans I kept because I just couldn’t part with him. Thankfully I...
Here is my Cuckoo Marans Roo at around 4 weeks for reference. Yours looks similar. My little guy was the slowest to grow and feather out compared to his sister, his sister had almost no comb or waddles at this time.
He is so handsome! Mine was a happy accident too lol. We tried to change Wednesday’s name to Buckwheat but couldn’t stop calling him Wednesday by default so he gets to keep his feminine name 😂
Age
Breed
Fun fact
I think they get misunderstood a lot unfortunately, not saying there isn’t mean Roosters out there though. He did go through a bit of an owly stage around 4 -5 months in the height of his boy hormones kicking in but we worked through it and so happy we did. Working from home...
Name: Wednesday
Age: 8 months
Breed: Marans (French Cuckoo)
Fun fact: When my humans are out I know my lady’s are safe and can take a short break from my duties. I wait at my human dads feet for him to pick me up for hugs and neck scratches. After, I frolic to my human mom resting in her chair...
Thank you, that makes sense! When I bought him and his sister I was told they were both Copper Marans however, he is cuckoo and she is all black. I am very new at this so I don’t understand all of the “E/eWh and B/b+“ yet lol. Trying 😁
So if he only has 1 copy of the barring gene there is...
I am just curious … My sweet French Marans Roo named Wednesday is 5 months old. At first I thought his coloring was just the regular cuckoo but as he is getting older he is getting tinted copper and golden cuckoo feathering along with some blue green flecks throughout. Is his coloring considered...
Okay thank you tons, I will try that! My husband added some higher perches in there for me last night as well and she and a few of the others are loving them and it seems to have made a big difference. They are all loving them so far.
