Our new rooster meets the ladies.

This was always going to be interesting. This lovely boy is a rescue. Apparently, he didn't get along with another rooster at his original place. (He's incredibly vocal and VERY loud, so we suspect that may have been a factor 😂 - he wouldn't have been a good fit in an urban setting.)

Anyway, he's been in quarantine since he arrived because avian flu is still a risk here. He's a pure-bred Black Copper Marans and our plan is to put him with our two Marans girls, who basically ignored him. The White Leghorns & the Cheshires were far more interested, although I suspect they just don't want to share their food.

We wanted a Scots name for him (the one we lost to the weasel was Donald), and we ended up with Malcolm. Maybe, in hindsight, it should be Dougal. He seems to be telling us "Just call me Dougal" every few minutes...

#IPL24 # It was one of the happiest days in office for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) players and owners as they beat Mumbai Indians (MI) in what seemed liked a one-sided affair despite more than 500 runs scored by both teams together in that game. SRH owner Kavya Maran, who has seen many poor days on the field, was a happy girl as she danced her heart out when SRH batter were smashing sixes into the…

This is Olivia. She’s a cuckoo Marans (the same as Josephine). She’s 8 weeks old and came from the same farm as Lydia. She seems to be a bit shyer so I didn’t get many pictures of her. She’s also the easiest to pick up.

Hatching Black Copper Marans Chicks

Black Copper Marans and their eggs are beautiful! However, people have a lot of trouble hatching them. I show you how I hatch mine, using the dry hatch method. I also show you their progress to, 2 months. #Outtaashes #homestead #chicken #marans #bcms #blackcopper #hatching #hatchingchicks #hatchingchickeneggs #hatchingeggs #hatchingeggs21daysaseel #farm #ranch #incubating #incubator

The Marans

Homeplanet: Mara, Frontier Habitat: Varied; dependent on sub-species Lifespan: 60 years Diet: Opportunistic Omnivore

An interesting mix of mustilid and primate, the Marans are a varied group of six-limbed aliens originally from the planet Mara. They are nimble climbers and strong swimmers depending on sub-species, and all generally find greater comfort in walking on four limbs (one set of legs, one set of arms) instead of two. Dislike of being seen as 'animalistic' force more proud Marans to walk on their legs to be seen as equals to their bipedal alien neighbors. Only the Ysk lack a prehensile tail.

More about the Maran subspecies and dimorphism under the cut.

Due to an eighty-year long world war (which has since come to an end), massive displacement and casualties have reduced their numbers drastically. So much so that, evidently, three sub-species are completely lost.

Cosí - the largest surviving pool. Typically found in savannahs, grasslands, and temperate forest zones.

Ysk - the second largest surviving pool. Favors oceanic and coastal zones (tropical, temperate, and polar), but can be found around landlocked lakes and rivers.

Èlais - the smallest surviving pool. Restricted to tundras and taigas (boreal forests).

Amora - only found on the planet of Frontier, and has a smaller pool then Ysk but more then Èlais. Adapted for Frontier's rocky backcountry and temperate shrublands. Speculated to be a mix of Ysk and Cosí lineage due to their large populations on Frontier.

Marans are a two-sex species, and dimorphism is most prominant in the Cosí subspecies. Sexual discrimination is common, with Mari being seen as the superior sex and Marè restricted to more subserviant roles. Referring to Marè as 'female' (due to possessing a uterus) and Mari as 'male' (due to possesing a penis and testicles) is seen as inaccurate and human-centric in the eyes of Marans.

Pretty sure I have (yet another) new favourite hen. She hatched nine weeks ago from a cross with a Black Copper Marans rooster and a Cuckoo Marans hen. Looks like the rooster provided the dominant genes in this one. Isn't she gorgeous?
