cuckoo maran

His comb has a strange black thing on some of the tips, I’m not sure what it is. It is very cold outside, but he is a cold hardy breed, so I am not sure.

I have a Cuckoo Maran hen that is about 10 months old. Last week she started acting just a bit off, puffy and off to the side by herself. She had some watery poops so I brought her inside for a night with ACV and some protein (eggs/meat). That night she pooped what looked to be a small 1in long...

Welbars I think: Black cuckoo maran I think: And this one I am supposed to be picking up tomorrow, is she a Lavender Australorp??:

Hi I have 7 week old cuckoo maran chicken. Not sure if a boy or girl. Can’t have a rooster where we live and their posture is starting to resemble a rooster. What do you think? Thanks!

So... despite having added 8 chicks to our flock back in April bringing us to a total of 20, chicken math struck again and persuaded us that we need 2 cuckoo marans, 3 amererucanas and 1 white leghorn. I've wanted these breeds for a while, so no complaint... but we're at 3wks and I'm seeing...

Wondering on my breeds if any of you have these kinds around what age they layed their first eggs? Mine should be any day and I’m so excited it’s like waiting for Christmas morning. I have almost 16 week olds! Breeds: buff brahmas (I know they are later layers) Easter eggers Sapphire gem...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am relatively new to raising chickens though my best friend has had them for over thirty years so I feel like I've learned a lot in the past six months or so that I've been raising them. All of my birds have been raised from 2-3...

I think i have a roo but im not sure. The one i believe to be male has a very visible comb and the other three which i believe to be female have no comb. Can anyone clear this up for me? Thank you

I have a Cuckoo Maran rooster that is very pretty and has a lovely lace pattern. He was supposed to be a girl but turned out to be a boy, and we are not supposed to have roosters so we have to let him go. He's about 4 months old now and he's just starting to try to mate with the hens now. He is...

My 8 week old Cuckoo Maran has me hanging on to hope she will be a she... What do you all think? Same chicken, different angles as she ran from me. Lol.

so I was recently given two chicks from my neighbors to add to my flock, they seem about 7 or 8 weeks old so I know they're okay outside but my 3 BR and 2 RIR seem to be bullying my little white one. When should I draw the line? Cayse they're already pulling tail feathers and it's barely day...

so at the lose of one of my favorite birds my neighbors decided to give me two new ones. One im about 100% sure is a cuckoo Maran because of the pink instead of yellow legs like my barred rocks. But this white one has me stumped. Any ideas about possible breed?(and any idea on sex on both would...

Hi I bought two cuckoo maran bantam pullets in mid February. When I got there the seller had lost my order and presumably sold all the good stock because he only had one with a completely bald bottom and one with only three tail feathers left. The seller told me they would grow back in a...

New members here!! So recently me and my girlfriend decided to get six chicks from our local orschlns that said four were barred rocks(other two rhode island reds) but after reading some on here I fear this may not be correct. I read barred rocks are supposed to have yellow legs but these are...

Is he a barred rock or a cuckoo maran. I think he is a maran. What do you all think?
