In the Brooder
I have a BCM cockerel who is 15 weeks old and still appears solid black. The pullets from the same breeder have copper feathering around their necks. I don't know if he is a BCM showing very little copper, or if it is too early for him to get his adult plumage in. Otherwise he thinks he is very mature - he's been crowing since 9 weeks and is breeding the mature hens for two weeks already!
