Black Copper Marans discussion thread

my muscovie duck hatched 1 bcm chick. there are 2 more marans eggs and 2 araucana/marans to hatch but I wonder if they will. scovies get up when the first ones hatch. she accepted the chick - didn't kill it or step on it so far.
 
I've ordered juveniles from VT and CO to CA and ordered from within my own State. The orders that traveled from East Coast or Rocky Mtns to West Coast arrived the next day and the order from within my own state took 2 days to arrive. I think cross-country ordering is better than in-state because USPS uses FedEx Air to expedite cross-country shipping.

Mine where shipped priority mail 3 day! I hope they make it alive! I didn't think it would ship that way! Tracking still doesn't say that they have left Florida. USPS says they got the package about 4 pm on monday. Thats all it shows. I hope it's not lost!

Many is the time the breeder and I sat biting our nails following the tracking schedules! In this day and age everything is done by computers and there's no human being we can actually contact. Let us know what happens?

Thank you! I got them from Julie Akers out of Florida! It was about a three month wait but worth it! They went from Florida to Washington state! They shipped in two days! Wow!

I found her on FB! Thanks! I just rehomed my BCM Rooster because he liked my Ameraucanas a bit too much =) I have 5 BCM pullets that just started laying and would like to have a Roo next year. More hens are always a good thing, too. I"ll have to strongly consider Julie - thanks again!
 




They are here! They all made it alive and Julie Akers even sent a extra Blue Copper Marans! There are 6 Blue Copper and 10 Black Copper Marans!
congrats! they are so cute.

I have a question for @snowbird or anyone else:
is this yellow at the end of wings ok for BCM? I have 1 chick like that hatched yesterday. my cockerel seems to be a BCM/wheaten marans cross, he has some yellowish hackle feathers (halos). this is him:
