Morbius18 your cockerel has a stunning copper nice feathered shank nice wide shoulder .
Need more photos of him some close up shot.He s promising NOT a cockerel for a pot for sure.

I see you have a black copper pullets with a nice coppery hackel as she his sister. if yes you got your hand on a nice Black copper line. very hard to achieve .the balance between the copper and the black. and to keep the copper fron getting too dark.

Brian Parks has Bev Davis hatching eggs and chicks he produces from birds he hatched directly from her. He gets really excellent hatch rates on shipped eggs; he's in Oregon. His business is called Frasier Park Farms. He also has a line of LP and his own line of BCM.

Brenda did import some birds, but I don't know that her entire line is from French stock (nor do I think she'd say). Brian got his LP line directly from Brenda.

Yeah I know Brenda got them from Monique Berte as a gift from France,

I have been offered fertile eggs from Monique as a Gift from france but I could not accept t . we can t import eggs to Australia.

Brian is lucky person got his LP line directly from Brenda. no many people have that chance. get some eggs from him you will never regret it .

Oh yeah... way too much golden or straw... the color is off and there is too much of it. Still make a good breakfast though.
