I've just started with blue birchen marans; purchased a splash rooster and crossed him with my black copper hens. Understanding I'm not into showing or even understand SOP here, just want to enjoy these beauties and raise a few more without keeping poor stock. I crossed to bcm for a darker egg color. I ended up with 2 roosters; one is very good sized but has russet feathering coming on the wing. The smaller of the two is coming in with all silver; however he's quite a bit smaller. Which would you choose?
