International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Chooks man]

I thought that too. Its what Chooksman calls an "m" right? I will keep him as a backup to cockerel #1 but may not use him for breeding.

That Little Peddler cockerel that sired one of your cockerels has a comb near identical to my cockerel #1. Maybe that's his father as well.

here what I call the M .

the one in the front of the photo has 2 extra dents on the 2 nd point ( giving it Everest mountain Shape )

the one on the far back has a M on the start of his comb. the first and second points are fused together forming a M .we can see it on the shade on the wall .

The comb isnt the only thing. I like cockerel #1 best because he feels more like a dual purpose bird.. big and meaty. Cockerel 2 is leaner. I may still use him and definitely dont plan on parting with him any time soon. May use him in the future or mate him to one of cockerel #1's daughters later on. Im going to wait and see how everyone looks once they mature out before I start thinking up my breeding plans for spring.

seem to me your breeding plan are not for this spring but they are for the next spring Cockerel 1 daughters .

that is no breeding ,that is speculative not selective breeding .we can not some body with some thing does not exist yet . based on what ?

we can do that if we have one breeder and we are welling to recreate a mate for him based on what he/she .

Cockerel 2 goes very well with a pullet in the post to create a early feathering type line and KEEP the Rooster from this line

Cockerel 1 mated to a same pullet will produce mix chicks Early and Late feathering type only Keep a late feathering type pullet

future progeny to create your line Mate the cockerel a son of cockerel 1 Early feathering type to a pullets from cockerel 2 late feathering type and you will have a sex linked chicks KEEP a pullet and mated them to Cockerel 1 if he still a live to produce a proper late maturing strain
a KEEP the good cockerel and mate him to the they where with Cockerel 2 and remove Cockerel 2 from your breeding program .

ET voila selective breeding to multiplying chooks guys .be with me .in the moment don t stretch too much . you will get lost .

one step at the time and we don t dismiss any workable chooks from ours breeding program .

I never pair any cockerel before . a 6 month old . I have to see him how he look at that age not before .

This is the only LP rooster that Antonio's breeder has.

He is a 100% Antonio s Sire for sure a handsome boy .

I have to say @RedBanks , cockerel #1 looks very similar to FRF's pure LP sire. A girl can be hopeful! Maybe he sired my cockerel as well.

Thanks for the compliment Kfelton0002. I am glad you like Antonio. That is why I wanted to get the pictures so you could see that. Your cockerels just need some time to grow up a little.

Quote: @kfelton0002 Chooks man is going to hold us to the fire! Okay....I am ready for this step. The pullets and cockerels are old enough to get serious, I need a spiral notebook, all chickens banded and divided into pens.

These are not the best pictures but it is not hard to see that he is a beauty.
He has the body type I love, thick and deep
Nice very wide stance, straight legs
Good color on the legs but in these pics I can't see any feathering
I like the way he holds his head with the curve of his neck
His color from best I can see looks good, nice mahogany shoulder, his hackle looks a little light at the bottom
Nice long back, good angle on the tail, looks like a good closed tail
Can't see much detail more pics please.
I think he is a keeper. He is much more my kind of bird. LOL I look for them to have a body like a ship and the chest I want to see the bow of the ship.
His body shape is perfect. More length in his back than the cockerel next to him. Even with his heavy body he is more balanced. He doesn't look heavy and clumsy. He looks perfect.

So you didn't like my description of Blue Heaven. I will take your test when I come home from work, got to get in the shower or I will be late. I promise not to look at anybody else's post. No computer at work.
