International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Punkybrewster]

I hope that youngest cockerel turns out good. At least his white is minimal. Only a small amount under the hackles so far. If I could breed him to a clean BC hen.

Would this type of parasitic white disappear after first molt?

not all the parasitic white are similar . the tail white .the wing and underfluff white around the hackle . white underfluff at the base of the tail .
the hens usually do show the white underfluff .
you have to test mate and see what pair throw a clean progeny .

parasitic white does not disappear after the molt .actually get worst as the bird get older .

His back looks great, short tail, even if it is high. He's handsome!

this guy is all class .
he will do very well with pullets from line #1 . we expect high tails but properly colored progeny with a correct conformation . he will fix the vulture hock in they progeny too .
his tail has a good shape but just the angle is higher .plus his comb need to be strengthen .
this guy is going to throw a well colored progeny for sure ,because his shoulder has a full pattern and his chest is copper flakes .
love the way he stand and walk .Elegant no goo

he is your man breeding rooster .name him well .
