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...

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.

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?

An Amora Maran riding on the back of one of Frontier's ungulates, the plains irullo. Due to the huge amount of stress sitting upright can put on a Maran spine, their saddles are styled in a quadrupedal manner to maximize comfort.
