International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[KF0002]

she is big and chunky .
nice tail and great hackle marking .gorgeous copper quality .
only problem with I see on her is .
1) plumage a little fluffy
2) darker eyes
3)parasitic white - hope will molt out .

she is goofy type ( fluffy )

what cockerel you have in mind for her?

chooks man

I would have to look and see which is the least fluffy between Maximus and Apollo. Apollo has a better comb but a higher tail/shorter back, Maximus has a worse comb but better tail and longer back. I may wait first to see if she molts out the parasitic white. I have plenty to do in the mean time.

if you pair her to the right cockerel ,she ll yield very heavy ,solidly build progeny .

her mate need to have a great comb
gorgeous eyes
well tight body plumage -free from any fluff-

I think you have theis type of cockerel.

chooks man

Here is Apollo. He is a very handsome cockerel except for his short back and high tail. He is also from the LA line. They would be brother/sister.

@kfelton0002 .
Apollo is all class and elegance .
mated to the right hen ,he will produce Faultless BCM progeny .
you only need to find him the real much .only one hen not a Dz .

Fluffy is not his hens for sure .

to make is easy for you ,I ll give you a description of this special hen .
Big and long body type
faultless comb
very long flat back
thin pointed small tail at the right angle.
minimum feathers on the shank .
if you have this hen ,you are a winner my friend

chooks man

the rest he ll take care of .

@kfelton0002
I found the type of hen I described for you in the last post for Apollo
only problem she is very far away from him ,not even in the same country .

just to give an idea how the pairing work .

Apollo @kfelton0002

Tamara @ Chooks man. the hen on the back

apollo X Tamara will produce show quality almost faultless Black copper marans chooks .
