International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Kelsey_i]

BC rooster should have uniform rich red copper through out his hackle ,back ,lancet ,
any different shade of gold is a Disqualification . strongly inherited through future progeny .

your rooster has a second DQ .Squirrel tail .very high and arched .the SOP call small ,short and full tail @ 45 Degree angle high .

hope this help .

Okay this makes sense. I’ve been wondering as they fill out #2 looks like a totally different type almost like a version of the letter “s”. Such a full breast. She looks very intriguing to me but I wasn’t sure if she fits the bill. Now I see she is a total square, thanks. That’s a nice visual.

The tail seems a little much to me, very wide and fluffy at the base along the back. I guess you balance that with a cockerel? As well as the feather shafting?


#1 I thought was a cockerel for a while until it was clear coloring wise that she wasn’t...I feel like she would make really good cockerels. You can just sort of see how she would transfer her shape on.

So these tails are not too low? Can They be brought up with the right cockerel?

you leave the tail along my friend .she has a stunning tail ,she still young . tail has to be held lower at 45 Degree Angle .

#2 we need to see her egg .I don t think she is going to be needed for breeding except if her eggs are special .

if you find the right cockerels for pullets #1 and #3 you will breed stunning BC marans ,need a correct cockerel .

Heres a question.
Why does this pullet have a yellow comb?
She is the only one...i see her comb is bent too.Her legs are correct color.

The one by the cup waterer.
