Most likely if you get any Copper it will not be much. You can still use her in your Blue copper breedings though.

From my experience no set time for the copper to show up. Usually after three weeks and then when they decide. They color up like the BC Marans and sometimes they will get very little and even some will never color up. Lots depends how good they are bred.

Vicki, That BC male is one of the best looking Marans I have ever seen in a picture or in person. Great job.

This is going to be some form of Blue. This is a male so no eggs.

Vicki, I really like the type on your Marans. Too bad some of the big time breeders do not have Marans like these. Don

Kim, A few year ago when I was raising 100s of BC and growing them out I was using Mahogany colored males almost exclusively. You will get less of the Blended Hackle fowl by using the Mahogany colored males. The Mahogany color is a Gold Mine with breeding the BC. Don

Yes, Kim go ahead and breed the BC male and this should work real well. Good luck going forward. Don

Very nice and would like to have some like this to work with. You have some great looking Marans.

Vicki, the color on your Blue Coppers is the very best I have seen. Don

This chick could be a splash or a light Blue Copper. It is much easier to tell when they are about three weeks old.The BC chicks looks like they are going to have some nice color. The white means they will have color if they do not have too much. Don

I would say he is not a Marans, Don

Donna, Is 100% correct on this. BBS is not the same as Blue Copper, Black Copper, and Splash when breeding the Marans. Don

Look on my profile page and you will see some wheaten--BC Marans I hatched to show what happens when you cross them.

Answering a question on these chicks is much like standing on the firing line waiting for orders to fire. I will look forward to some answers. Don

Marcy, those three Blue Copper have a lot going on that you do not need.

Marcy, Even with the Hackle color he is by far the best male you have posted. This is a time when you just have to go with the best you have available. I would use a female that is on the lighter Blue side. The size of the Flame on the Blue Copper works the same as it does on the BC.
