I was wondering if anyone has ever bred a Blue Copper Maran Rooster to a Welbar or Cuckoo Maran Hen?
I did and this is this outcome.

The females may or may not pass on their gene for barring. If you use a barred rooster, and breed to a single barred hen (Welbar or cuckoo maran I think both have single barred females), you can have auto-sexing chicks evident by a dot on their head for males, because males will inherit two copies of the barring gene, and their feathers will show brighter barring than the females. The dots may be subtle though, if this isn't selected for over a few generations.

Cute chicks!!!

How are these chicks growing out? They all look a little different, so it would be interesting to know how their feathers developed. I may be crossing a black copper marans with a cuckoo marans mix in the future, so I’m curious!

All were hatched from BLCM & Welbar? What about the one with dot on head. I had 2 with dots and have identified them yet. I hatched a couple BCMX Welbar

Just stumbled on this thread…do you have pics of the chickens now? Curious to see how the combo looks as an adult!
