do you think that the bird are a little too young to get a good idea of how the cam turn out or can you usually tell the flaws early on ?

I do have a couple marans, I got 4 that are 8 weeks old. they were supposed to be BCM but I belive one is just black. my question is how can I properly breed any marans and what kind of marans to end up with a good pure BCM line. I have plenty of room and time to do whatever I need do.I will get better pictures when I get off this evening to upload, I'm afraid these won't be much help

hi there they are too young to tell but what I can see is good .

all 4 have nice long flat back .that great .
3 of them are free from the parasitic white except the last cockerel ( colorful one )
tail Angle look good for the time been .

let them do some growing and post more pick off them with number like cockerel 1 ,cockerel2 etc................... make it easy for us to separate them .

where is a pullets ?
Do you know the cockerel don t lay eggs .they don t breed by them selves .

those are the only onesolution I could find, the person that I got them from just called and said she had 4 more hatch out so I'm praying for ladies in that bunch.

just really not much to choose from.

I had to drive 3 and half hours to get those, I wish I could find some more but it's really been struggle. but I'm not giving up, I want quality BCM so I'm going to keep working and keep looking.

you are wrong they are nice BCM cockerel just need to find a pullet from a same line . I like them they have a lot going on for them ,they are just young and you can t choose a cockerel if you don t have a hen/pullets to match him too.
like walking blind .

Rooster can be great but if we don t have to pair him too than is a bad luck we can pair him to any other breed .

why you don t try to get some fertile BCM eggs for this coming breeding season ?

I think you will have a better chance .plus you will see the color of the eggs they are going to hatch from .

all the Best
