Black Copper Marans discussion thread

[seabreeze]

I'd like to post a pic of my BCM roo but not sure how to do it? Would love input from the BYC/BCM afficionados here. I emailed Bev and sent her a pic, her response was too bad I wasn't close enough to show him at an event in Feb. in Georgia. I guess she liked him

HI Geebs and Everyone '

', Just found this thread today, and am thrilled! Very glad that this is a place where one can get detailed evaluations. I will be sending pictures when I figure out how to! Have three hens and six roos at the moment. What a lovely gentle breed... '

Geebs - - - I think this one has the gray undercoating because it is a Blue Copper Maran. What do you think?

So, are the brown stripes in the wings indicative of the mossiness ?

None of the mom's had brown stripes in their wings when they were chicks. I am surprised to see the brown stripes in the wings. I don't remember anyone ever posting pics of chicks with striped wings.

What are your thoughts on this trait?

Here is my self - review. Feel free to correct or add to it.

Pullet #4: 10 days old pink and orange leg bands

More white under eye on one side as opposed to other side of face.
small comb
Dark horn
gray shanks with pink toes
short toes
short shanks
Dark Black head
almost solid white underside
CROOKED toe - - - I need to check and see if that is just from the way she was standing

White under eyes - - - the most so far
Almost all white underside.

Black horn
Dark black head
Heavy shank and toe feathering
