Very nice barring and color, not to mention a great comb!
Hi, welcome to the thread, nice to see some new posts! Sounds like you have a pretty assortment of feathers and egg colors =)
I hatch Marans and olive eggers from my flock; the olive eggers are from various mixes which may or may not include Marans. Just let me know if you don't find what you are looking for. I'm in the Palos Verdes area but I have family that is down that way often.
Nice!
Did he come from me?

Yes. Maybe I should just keep him. I'm torn! I'm setting some CL eggs today, so maybe I should just switch him out with Uncle Kracker & get some chicks from him when the incubator is free next..... His comb turned out great. Color seems good. Thoughts? Input please?

Free d anver cockerels if anyone interested in them need to rehome them soon as have to many roosters as it is
He did turn out nice!! Wing triangle is a bit too white but barring is good generally.
Has he calmed down?
Unless you have someone that looks better, he is a good candidate in my opinion.
I agree with @Phage's comments about the wing triangle, I don't know how difficult that is to fix, but that's something I'm working on as well.
I'm not sure if that photo does him justice, his stance looks a little off - his wings are held low (more like a leghorn) and his back might be longer than that angle shows, which may also make his tail angle look a little high…but he is not a bad choice at all, and I'm sure you have hens that could offset some of those attributes if needed.
I agree, it is nice to keep a back up Roo, even if related. It would be interesting to see their offspring over the same hens for comparison. I'm not good at moving the hens around. Once they have nice happy groups, I like to keep it that way, so I just end up with new breeding groups (more coops, yada yada yada). But I think I've reached my limit.
