black copper marans

I am in the process of building a bachelor pad for my teenage boys. If you want to skip down to the question, its labeled "QUESTION:" I am not new to chickens, but I am new to a bachelor pad system lol...... Backstory: My husband got me 9 Black Copper Marans from a breeder for Christmas...

Hey guys! So I bought a couple chicks from the store. I have a black copper maran chick and he/she is aggressive. Idk if that’s common for the breed or what. But every time my hand goes in it pecks at me. None of the other chicks do this. I got them on March 7th Let me know if you need...

🍫Hello!!! I found a really nice looking pair of Black Copper Marans hens on Kijiji today, and I'm very exited! :frow:pop:p:p🥰 They seem like a very amazing breed, and this is a great deal! So now, I'm wondering the unknown amazing things this breed has, but are mostly unspoken of by "breed...

I hatched out these two BCM chicks- do I have two cockerels here or one of each? They’re 3 weeks old. Can take more pictures. The one with the slightly bigger comb has some brown coming through on the wings.

Hi – I’m Cynthia, a newbie backyard chicken parent. Henny Penny showed up in July 2022 and stayed. We thought we’d like a few hens once we retired, but that little stray accelerated the process. As the name (which stuck) implies, we mistook Henny for a “she” but crowing and beautiful saddle &...

We have 3 black copper marans and believe they’re all pullets but need a second opinion. They’re almost 11 weeks!

We have 12 chicks that we sourced straight run from Alchemist Farm. I am going to post them separately so that any experts in each breed can provide guidance. I am pretty sure these are 5 black copper marans. And also looks like we have some roosters. Multiple photos of each and they are...

This is supposed to be a Black Copper Marans but looks nothing like my other Black Copper Marans seen in the back of the 1st pic. Today, she started growing a crest.

Hi there! Not super great at introductions but I'm dublinducks, and as I'm sure you can gather from that name, I love ducks! Last May we purchased six Ancona ducklings, and a few months later we rescued two special needs Pekins, Winky and Wonky (who are blind and lame, respectively). We really...

Hello everyone! I’m new here so don’t be too hard on me lol. I’m a happily married mother of 5. My oldest kid is 22 and my youngest is 11 so yeah, I’m not sure what quiet or peaceful is. (But I wouldn’t trade it for the world) After my husband lost his job after having covid and pneumonia and no...

So, in case anyone is interested in seeing what they look like....I have a BCM and Splash Bearded Silkie cross cockerel and a BCM and Buff Orpington cockerel. Both have a BCM dad.

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...

What do you guys think of the quality of these 2 chickens I want to improve my BCM stock !

I bought some straight run chicks. These two are about 6 weeks old and the absolute sweetest. Either way I’m keeping them but if they are cockerels I’d like to get a few pullets. Thanks for any help!

I have two black marans hens and two roos. One roo has a sideways prong on his single comb, while a hen? has two mottled on her tail and the other roo's toe feathers are mottled. The question mark is there because she's either a non-pb hen, bms can carry the recessive mottle gene, or she's a...

Meet Bunny and Bagel, a bit over 5 weeks old today and I'm afraid they may both be roos! I know EEs showing patches of red coloring their wings isn't a good omen and my BCM comb is looking a little too large... Any votes? Here's Bunny the EE And Bagel the BCM Thanks for your time &...

One of my ladies, an Easter Egger from a green-laying EE x BCM, laid the egg on the far left. BCM egg from the sire's line and a pinkish-brown egg from her sister included for contrast. Love that bloom! 💜

Hello! I recently acquired a cockerel who’s mom is a black copper Marans and dad is an ameracauna. I am wondering if he breeds with my EE if the chicks could be olive eggers or if they will carry the blue egg gene.
