French Black Copper Marans with very little copper

[Chooks man]

This is Shadow. She is 24 weeks old and is ready to lay her first egg. She has a full copper neck and dark, medium feathered legs. I believe she is an ideal specimen of the SOP. She is quiet, smart, and doesn’t mind being handled.

Ideal not sure ,need to see more photos from different angle ,but she is stunning for sure .
need to see her top line and how the tail is attached to it .
love the copper quality of her hackle ,plus she has a complete pattern . love her pure black plumage .

Here’s some more photos. She is from dark Lisa Judd eggs and was born the first week of April. Hasn’t laid an egg yet.

this rooster is too dark , will never produce well colored pullets .
his shoulders should have copper marking ,
I can not comment on type because he is standing in bad position .
