Hey guys! It's been quite some time since I've been on. I still currently only have 2 Black Copper Marans. I had a Blue Copper Cockerel but had to get rid of him due to an attack on my son. Hatched out another from the original breeder my pullet came from, Lady Olivia. She's 11 months old now and in the video. The cockerel I have for her is about 6 months old now and I'd like some feedback. I took a lot of photos but just gave up and decided to upload a video.
Here's what I see:
Faults-
Too many comb points
Comb texture
High tail
Needs more copper color..? still young yet though
Not as good of a brick shape as my blue I had
Strengths-
Good shank feathering
Decent shank coloring pink/white with gray
Eye coloring
That's all I got. If I'm wrong about something, someone feel free to chime in and state what you think. I'm all
ears eyes!
Also, Lady Olivia is featured in the video as well. Turns out she has developed some white tipped feathers around her face. I don't know what to make of it. I don't recall any damage or any illness to her, so she may not be as good as I hoped. But these two are all I've got. Hoping together they will make some beautiful babies, or a least a few keepers.
Please note, you should be able to view in HD, just click on the settings on the video
