Thanks Some of the BCM that I have, I started out with Presley x Wade and slowly worked in birds from other Marans lines as needed, to adjust toward APA standard while preventing loss of egg color and getting the eggs even darker!
It was/is quite a tightrope situation. I now keep my BCM flocks closed for the last several yrs and work only within my own flock/s.
Your chickens and eggs are beautiful. You have done a wonderful job with them. Please let me know if you ever decide to sell black copper eggs. Have a wonderful day!
Your eggs are STUNNINGLY gorgeous! If you're ever willing to sell a dozen hatching eggs, please let me know. My Marans need some improvement on color and yours are the absolute best that I've seen!
beautiful! hope the potential BCM 4 week olds are actually that! they look similar to your 1mo old pictures that you have posted...fingers crossed! Hoping too that our guesses on their sexes are correct, i'm hoping for some lovely dark brown eggs!
thanks for posting, your chickens and eggs are beautiful!
