International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Chooks man]

I meant to say #4.
He is just very narrow with a high tail.

I also noticed #5 was square when I took the pictures.

So I am safe to get rid of both of them.

yes #4 and #5 can go

Is this guy too square? He is a year old now and I still like him, mostly. His wing is drooping because he's thinking about sunning. He nearly flopped on his side after this to enjoy a good sun bath.

Beautiful.
I love his size and color.

love the length of his body not sure wet about the width . longer tail too .
love his head and comb ,best comb
he look to be great walker .
we need to give him more time .let him fill up and color up too .
I like him .
is he the one you said he has a lot white underfluff ?
he is in the same class as Cockerel #1 and #6 but he is different maybe he need time to catch up .

PS =those are my 3 favorite cockerels #1 .#3 and #6

#3, He is the youngest of the group.
I did not notice any underfluff until I saw his chest in this photo.

I believe #1 is the worst for white.
I will go out and check this morning.

I will pen 1,3,6, figure out who #7 is, and get rid of the other 3 (#2,4,5).
