Black Copper Marans discussion thread

Dan, I think most Marans go through the Juve Molt around five months old.

If we breed the birds with white feathers we will continue to get birds with white feathers, I prefer to just remove them from the flock after the Juve Molt.

Thanks for the information! I have just never seen a Marans chick with a black comb. I was suspicious that the breeder I got the eggs from was focusing more on egg color then quality Birds. Hopefully that isn't the case

What is the best hatchery to order from?

I myself would never buy Marans from a Hatchery as they would be very poor quality

Could you post a close up picture of the original Mossy Male.

Can't wait to see pictures of yours, Don. Those over colored males will be a good match, then? Some of the hens have more than others

I had not seen that, Don, and just read it all. That was the single most helpful visual reference I have gotten since I started looking. Thanks!

Can either of you point me in the right direction to find this thread? I've been searching but not having much luck...
