    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    The person I got him from says she has no cuckoos whatsoever.... only BC M's I think I see little teeny tiny bits of copper here and there in the neck. Not much , u have to look hard.. also he has a single green feather in his tail.. almost like bcm traits are poking thru.

    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    Hi I haven't posted much so I hope I'm doing this right.. I have a question about BCM's ... How would a breeder end up hatching a blue cuckoo Marans when it was definitely supposed to be a BCM? There are no cuckoo Marans in the flock whatsoever. Any help? Thank you
