    Hi! I do still raise Marans, but I only have a few birds now. Been too busy with college to breed more. Will be starting back up this coming spring. ☺

    Blue Copper and Splash Copper Marans Discussion

    Hi Everyone! Gosh it has been a LONG time since I have visited BYC! I miss it! But, life and college has kept me so busy, seems there is not enough time to visit here. Looked back through old posts and find myself missing breeding Marans. . . especially missing all my blue coppers! Be well all...

    You are right, he is obviously not a Cuckoo. Does look to be a Blue Copper, but since you were told he was suppose to be Cuckoo, I would be questioning what he is. My guess is the seller does not know that what they have is not Cuckoos. And, he looks a lot older than 8 weeks, his comb and...

    Where's the like button???? LOL! The little blue is nice, and then I can't stop looking at the little splash too! The more I look a her, the more I fall in love with her!

    Yep! Mean ones, no matter how pretty, just do not fit in here at my place.

    I'd be curious to see what tone of blue he would produce over black. :)

    For sure! Are you thinking of using him over splash, blue, or black?

    Huge bonus! Did some monkeying around with my 2 males today just to keep them on their toes, and used to being handled. Nothing I cannot stand more than a stand-offish bird. Even though they get under foot from time-to-time because they are overly friendly, the time I spend with them is very...

    I think he will make some very nice blue offspring!

    Vicki~ This young cockerel is looking great!!!! I can sure see the difference you are talking about in just 2 weeks time. What a spurt! I really like his station, and his tail set. Matter of fact, I can't see anything I don't like about him. :)

    Thank you Vicki! Now if I only had a splash hen, LOL! Soon though, very soon! I am going to spend the rest of the summer and fall hatching everything they give me (egg color permitting of course). If I get even just a few Blue Copper males I will be in heaven! Now, I have had many splash males...

    That ROCKS!!!!!!! I am going to keep the Mahogany male in with all my BC pullets and hens and breed some more BC's. Male #1 is going to be put over my only Blue Copper hen. Hoping to get something nice out of all of them. Thanks again Don! :)

    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    Alaskan~ yes that would be a lot to easier to decide to just say they were black, but Blackbirds13 is spot on with the fact that genetics for a solid pure black Marans and a Black Copper Marans are 2 different things. There are folks out there that say their birds are pure black, but then they...

    Gosh, I cannot believe how much I have missed my Marans friends since the mountain lion came through and wiped me out! I cannot believe how much I have forgotten! Zanna!!!!!!!!! I see you lurking my friend! Hi, I hope you and your birds are doing fabulous! It's been soooooo hot over here...

    Cooi! Got it! The BC male that I shared with you the other day has the flame going on with a nice medium size black stripe (posted of photo of him and his brother over in the Blue Copper thread for comparison). Vicki agreed that he would be the best bet and not the other who is Mahogany, but...

    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    I should elaborate on my thinking about that. Every male that I have seen that is true BC or Blue Copper that has shown copper in the chest has never covered the entire feather, just kinda been like an edging. Other males that I have seen with color in their chest have shown the entire feather...

    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    All right cool! Now do me another favor, define the copper in the chest! :) Copper in the chest having the stripe of black in the middle, or the entire feather full of orange? What if a person sees hackle color that shows the entire feather full of orange, no stripe in the middle? Any...

    Understood my friend! Just interested in how and where the green can produce purple. Will keep you updated on what I find. I too, am so disgusted with what I see out there on the Marans market now days that I hesitate contacting many, many people, and would rather work with the birds in my yard...

    Don~ What does a person do with 5 Black Copper pullets that are as black as night and do not show one stitch of copper, but loaded with green sheen? :)
