International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

I will start looking, thanks.

Also i love it when you post pictures of your marans, always lots to see and learn. Thankyou for that.

I m pleased you like the photos I m posting . they are for you guys to see how marans should be bred and look .
it is the only thread in the world where you can see gorgeous marans varieties in they full glory . I m working very hard to restore the breed to it original form .

I'll go look at them later this morning. I really do not actively start thinking about culling from the breeding program until 12 weeks, so ignore little things like that. I know with the FBCM I have to wait until at least 8 months before actively looking for faults unlike some of my other breeds.

They are in the Littles pen with my Gold Creole Legbars and Heritage Rhode Island Red littles, so it makes it a wee bit harder to coral them as there are 60 some littles in there.
