Just here to tag along for the ride...
A few names I've heard of along the way is Wade Jean, Bev Davis and Little Peddler lines. I have no info beyond that, really.

You could post this over in the Marans SOP thread also..

Wish you good luck in your search and hopefully others can chime in with more help.

Are you looking for a certain quality on the BCM or strictly SOP?

Wrath has a ton of knowledge on them as well.

I've also heard great things from Greenfire Farms for quality of many of their birds.

Anything I know is from the help and knowledge of everyone in the Marans thread I linked above and also BYC.. I would be no where without the great members here...

Check that thread out, my friend.

I have purchased from Greenfire Farms. They are over priced. Their lines are a mix of French and English (fatherless legs). The birds are on the smaller side of the spectrum. I will say though. If you are looking to create your own line from them. It might be a good place to start. It will be a hard fought battle.

Apple Hill Marans. Steve Copeland has the original LP (Little Peddler) line that came here in the 1990s. It was the first BCM to come state side. He has kept the line unadulterated.

Steve is a wealth of knowledge. I have his line. I also purchased the hype from Greenfire Farms. Steve's birds are the Ferrari to Greenfires Dodge Neon.
