International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Bantambird]

I had to share these girls: early May/late April hatched, these two are some of my keepers for this year

I am not sure why my camera didn't orient for me...

hello to all, I just got my first two fbcm cockerels (Braso and Mano) and would like some feed back, I know not the best of breed but would like to know what to look for in a hen for improvements. Thanks to all and any constructive comments welcome, I will not be culling or disposing of either one so pls don’t suggest.
First bird pics are of Braso, 4 1/2 months I know he has a halo and it’s not very accepted
Second bird is Mano 3 1/2 months he’s smaller in size

glad to hear they have a future.

braso needs a dark lady with low tail. mano is a cute baby. let them grow first.
