Nice Black Marans....

Are they Solid Blacks or just dark Black Copper Hens?

I couldn't get him to stand still long enough for a side shot, but I am hoping this picture will be good enough to answer my question....If I cross my FBCM hens to this black tailed buff Marans cock bird, what color birds will I likely end up with? Mostly black?

Are you looking for something particular? Do you have an end result? If not why would you make the cross?

Not looking for an end result. Just have my FBCM in the same pen with him and don't have room to move them to their own pen with a FBCM rooster so I was wondering what the cross would look like
