Here are mine

well my rooster I couldn't get the hens

We are looking at the 3rd one back, right? Does he have legs? . Sorry, couldn't resist, mine either show me their tails as they run from the camera, or they get their nosy beaks all up in the camera lense.

I have a French Black Copper Maran Cockerel that needs a new home. I had originally ordered a black orpington but instead got a black copper maran. He recently went to Maryland Poultry Fanciers Show and was very well behaved. He loves his hens and protects them very well. He is very pretty and would be a great addition to any breeding stock. We are located in Lothian Maryland near Washington D.C. Please email me at [email protected] or send me a message if you are interested in giving him a good home.

Hi everyone. My husband and I are brand new to the world of chickens and successfully hatched our first flock this past summer. We are still waiting for our ladies to begin laying, but they are due any time now. Our current flock was hatched from eggs given to us by our Mennonite neighbor. They are pretty much barnyard mutts, with the exception of our barred rock roo and our barred rock hen.

We would like to work with the Black Copper Marans and are looking for a high quality breeding trio in our area. We want to do this the right way, and breed for conformation both in the bird and the egg color.

As we are still pretty new to this, we obviously have a lot to learn and are reading and researching. But at 800 pages, this particular thread is quite long, lol.

Can anybody give me a concise run-down of what we need to know and how we can perhaps find a good quality trio out this way.

We are located in the Finger Lakes region of upstate NY. About an hour and fifteen minutes from Rochester and an hour and fifteen minutes from Syracuse.
