International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

I have only seen parasitic white grow out from the base of his tail, up the shaft of the tail feather. Not just a spot like this.

His underfluff at the base seems to be a nice dark grey.

I am sure @Chooks man will have a good answer for you.

I will wait till he finish his first molt. Cockerels will show them true color after they first molt 18 months of age.

I will.
I was out there and decided to snap some pics that day.
The cockerel pen is my favorite to visit.

Will get some individual pics soon.

Can you just organise them from the photos you already posted . No need to take more photos except if you want to.

I don't think I photographed everyone. Some duplicates of a few birds.

I need to get better organized pics with their wing numbers.
It helps me a lot.

Here some photos of the site I m working on to build my new chooks pens . Building a big long shed as nursery , incubation room etc ………
The site is 135 m long and 70 wide . I m only clearing the areas where I m going to build the rest will stay as bush . Lot shade for the chooks in the hot days.

@Punkybrewster this 2 guys look to me like true brothers .very good body type and stance , lovely low tails .
they are different style to a best cockerel ,I like they deeo chest and long flat back ,little bit taller on they feet but that is ok . they combs are not great .
cockerel #1 on the top look very chunky to me .

Chooks Town!
That's a lot of work!
I love the planned set up.
So organized and will be easy to work in.

We have been relocating and rebuilding our coops too.
Nothing like yours but a much better set up than what we had.
