Black Copper Maran help Bcm'

[Itsmychickens]

Lovely pullet.
my ee has curved tail feather's for a while. It happens. But she has female saddle feathers, not the flowy male ones. I'm actually more suspicious of the one behind your bcm...

The one behind the BCM is a EE. That hen really took me through a loop when it was younger .it had 3 perfect rows in its comb and sickled tail feathers. She looks just like her black and white ee rooster sibling . except he actually grew a long black tail and she stayed hen.

We have 6 BCM's that we acquired from 3 different places. 3 hatched from purchased eggs, 5 months old. Two pullets and a cockerel. Cockerel is already huge and beautiful and the pullets have light to medium feathered legs and feet. Two other pullets have heavily feathered legs and feet but their hackle feathers are not Copper? More of a si!very tan color. I purchased them at 10 weeks. Our first BCM ( Piccata ) also has the medium feathered legs and feet. She just has a very light sprinkle of white feathers on her head. Some of the British ones are hard to tell from other black Chicken breeds.Funny how all of them lay a different dark brown egg? Color, shape, and size. Get's hard to tell which is which without really looking.
