Hi all starting this thread pre-emptively as I'll be getting my chicks in the next couple of days.
(Anxiously waiting on shipping to be updated as it's been 12+ hours with no movement lol). I know I need to be patient but I'm anxiety ridden cause shipping not being updated has happened on my...
I just thought I would share, because I did not know BCMs could be frizzled! I got Ms Frizzle from a breeder who thought she had a bunch of barnyard mix chicks because some were frizzled so she assumed her Marans and Cochin had an mated. However, when I was talking to her and showing her all of...
Meet Bluey, a 6 week old Blue Copper Marans. I'm thinking pullet so far based on her bahavior and looks. Is it too early to tell? She/he is from a straight run.

And last 3...
These 3 are supposed to be bcm and I just wanted to know if anyone else thinks that they are the blue Copper Marans also. They were supposed to be all females but the darker one is a bit smaller and looks like a rooster. Any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!
I have a Double Laced Barnevelder Rooster that I was considering pairing with my Blue Copper Marans hen....has anyone done this and what does the outcome look like?
I have this gorgeous blue copper marans pullet, which is perfect in every way, exept for one. I've noticed a few tiny white feathers on her head. I'm trying to get my marans as perfect as possible, so this is quite imporant to me. Is this allowed? And can it be easily worked away? I'm planning...
