International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Chooks man]

Blaze attacked my husband at the door. He got out and attacked some more. My husband came in the house carrying Blaze by the legs. I thought for sure he was going to end him. My husband carried him around for a while. I told my husband I heard that if you carry him around by the feet. You could break him from attacking. So he did that for a while but felt bad and didn't want to hurt him. So he would be upside down for a while. Then he would hold him upright for a while. Then back upside down. He was afraid he would aspirate or suffocate. So far Blaze hasn't been at the fence attacking. Not even attacking when he was in the pen.

Chooksman, I noticed Blaze has parasitic white when my husband had him. I got a good look. Checked him for lice and I didn't see any.

parasitic white where ,down feathers ,tail or wings ?

I think it was Kayla that said to carry him around by the feet. So far it's helping. I guess every time he is trying to attack you carry him around a while until he doesn't attack anymore.

Down feathers in hackle and tail.

Chooksman, I have a feeling this will be a problem for some time to come. Jasper looks good I think. I think him breed to the right hen might be the best bet.

down feathers in the hackle very bad thing ,no point in keeping him .
can you check please Jasper and Nimbus . I know Nimbus has white feather in his feet ,how about his down ?

we have to know witch hen is responsible for the parasitic white .
I always said we need to know the mother of the chick .when some thing like this happen ,we know witch hen to remove from the pen .
If Jasper is clean then mate him just to a BC hens not a BLC hens .
we know one of the BLC hen is responsible ,better to keep cockerels from the BC hens .
we have to see how the chicks grow up .but keep the chicks from BC hens well marked ,so we can fellow them up as they grow .
every thing is fixable with good breeding program .

Jasper is Blaze Sire .so the parasitic white must be from the hen. the mother .

Remember Nimbus has white in tail also. I am going to bet he has parasitic white also.
