International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Chooks man]

Dark Angel my favourite hen , I wish I have 100 like her . one day I will ,it is only matter of time and selective breeding , love her dark blue color with dark hackle ,she has no copper at all .when matted to CTB she produced well colored progeny .
I will breed her to Crow and his brother Raven this breeding season ,need to get some solid blue and Black out of her .

Blackgen from import line .BCM rooster 21 month old .look stunning .
he will be my main breeder to breed out the parasitic White . he is pure black ,I will be using him over a solid Black hens 4 of them { they brothers have parasitic white and her Sire too BM }.will mate him to Dark Angel and few Blue copper hens without hackle .
a reason I m using him to produce Solid Black/Blue and not BC/.BLC because his shoulder are almost black and his saddle . he is a big bird .clean legs .his under fluff is pure black .

Frosted looking great .he will be bred to his half sibling Splash copper hens . the comb will be a all over the place in they progeny ,but it is not a reason I m doing it ,a reason I want to multiply a line so I ll have more chooks to work with .they lay large dark eggs .plus they are big bird .with a correct body type and tails .

Blue copper cockerel .sired by CTB over Dark Angel .he is dark for sure like his mama . I m expecting him to have a poor shoulder coloration ,not enough copper ,because his Dam is all blue . let see ,time will tell .
Conan The Barbarian is very good producer .add color to his progeny .
