International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Red Banks]

the dark silver cuckoo very hard to catch on camera always moving .

he is 6.5 month old .big frame boy .really deep chest and a long flat back . I like him a lot not as much as a BLUE HEAVEN

this dark silver cuckoo going to give a great result with my Birchen ladies , he is going to help me clear the golden hues and a yellow shoulder from my birchen cockerels plus he is going to add the long flat back to then as well especially OSLO and COPENHAGEN both are square type with too much fluff on them .


I can t take take a good photos of him .guess I have to teach him how to pose .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

No wonder you were excited about these birds...... each one of them is gorgeous! I can hear your mind whirling...... all the plans!

He looks fine even if he is camera shy.

he is a big correct boy .great type .

I like his back and a depth of his chest the best one so far . never had that type before . he is 3kg as 6.5 month old

I ll cath him with a better posture when he relaxes . great type you will see.

Is anyone else having trouble with BYC. It keeps asking me if I want to leave when I try to post a reply. I keep trying to get back to your birds Kfelton0002. I like the pullet too and Chooks man does a much better job than I do at critiquing.

Yeah Ive got a while before I can hatch any from these. I like to wait until their eggs are full sized and not "pullet" sized eggs. It will be March or April before I set any of their eggs. We like to wait til our girls are close to a year old before we will set their eggs. I have other stuff to keep me busy until then. I will have nursing boards and all that to contend with.

Quote:
When we got our birds she had them running all together, Greenfire and LP. So your cockerel and mine could be full brothers. When you see pictures of FRF the black banded birds are LP and the green banded birds are GF. I will post more. She has them separate now and I would sure like to have a couple of LP pullets.

No Chooks man I am not being disloyal to Claude. The pullets are for Claude!

pressed a wrong button .

he is his sire or close related .

I know Monique strain they are well inbred . all look a like .

Antonio all over him .

chooks man

This is the only LP rooster that Antonio's breeder has.

I like them very much. The pullet is so pretty. In one picture it looks like she has too much cushion in front of her tail but in the other it doesn't. Lovely head. Good angle on her tail.

The cockerel is so nice. Very balanced.

Nice copper
Nice Mahogany shoulder

Thanks! I thought they seemed decent, but like I said, I'm a newbie to BCMs! I'll have to look at the pullet tomorrow to get a better idea of the cushion in front of her tail.

I was earlier on my phone. It wasnt letting me quote anyone which it does quite often. It seems to be doing okay now though.

And thanks I like her too. I just hope she lays nice dark eggs.
