Blue Copper and Splash Copper Marans Discussion

No I bought them from a guy that breeds black, blue & splash Marans and he says they're from bev Davis and wade jean line.

Hey everyone, just stopping in to say hey! Hope to have more time to come by. I have a baker's dozen chicks hatched out by broodies, that's as far as I've gotten with hatching this year. 7 splash copper and 4 blue copper from Big Boy's pen along with two surprise birchens as well. I'll see if I can get some photos of the B/B/S Coppers

Well.... not as much as some new people. But I do keep up and help where I can. LOL. Since you have not been around, remember I told you I hatched some chicks for a lady that wanted them for eggs? She grew up ALL the roos too..... I got 4 of the best ones back so I have a new crop of roos! From MY BIRDS! This guy is my fav. His tail was picked but is growing back nicely. He looks so much like Pinks roos I had. I love his color too, for a blue. He is a little narrow at the back end but you can't have everything. He does have feathered legs. I got him and 3 other Blacks. I am on my feet again!

Hum.... I think I hatched from late fall till after the first of the year and he was part of the first few she got. 6-8 months MAX.

With him as my main breeder for now (till I move the Black Copper over later in the fall) my chicks are going to be mostly blue and splash... he is covering 5-6 blues and 2 blacks.
