International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Red Banks]

I also have a legbar named Fabio.

As you can see, Fabio is named for his long, flowing locks( fabulous feather crest). His earlobes aren't real great, but that crest combined with the straight comb, even with the faults, made him worth keeping as a breeder. His sons don't have floppy combs either. He's well shaped, although he has a lot of gold, and quite a bit of Chestnut through the wings and crest.

Fabio is nice. I used to have CLB. I have had many breeds, at least many for me.... Cream Legbars, Ameraucanas, Bielefelders, Araucanas

Would that translate to silver cuckoo? I typed it into google translate and only the words "Coucour" and "argente" were able to be translated. Coucour = cuckoo, and argente = silver. So Silver Cuckoo. Chooks man will know more about it.

Congratulations on your hatch! I am just green with envy! Monique is an amazing Marans breeder. To be able to obtain eggs directly from France is just amazing! You are very lucky indeed.

I am jealous too! At least we have a little of them in the Little Peddler lines!

Cuties! Congratulations!!

Are they Cuckoo Marans?

Hi kfelton0002, thank you! Little Radar is supposed to be a cuckoo marans. I am new to them, so I hope he really is one. I'll post some pics of him when he gets older. If he is a fake maybe chooks man will be able to tell.

@kfelton0002 I like your kitchen counter studio but this woman puts us to shame!

RedBanks, I love your all's counter studio. My pics do not put yours to shame. I just love to take pics. Setting up my little mini chicken photo shoots takes me to happy place in the world. I take a break from reality when I'm in the photography moment. Maybe a little to much. My chicks and kids hate me and my camera. Literally, they despise me when I get it out. LOL.

She sure does! I need better props! And a better camera! lol

kfelton0002, I have a fascination for antiques and have been collecting them for a long time. I guess they help me out with my chicken prop ideas. I love all things country, and shabby chic.The chicks just look at me like, What? My camera is probably considered a dinosaur now. I need a new one, but I cannot bring myself to pay what they want for new ones so I guess I'll just stick with this one

I know, how awesome to have marans directly from Monique! Jealous, but happy for her. I hope she shares pictures!!!!

Fabio is an adorable name! He's very pretty. I have never owned any CLB, but I've heard good things about them.

I just want to get a picture as quick as possible, no patience! In my mind I can hear Chooks man barking at me, side, back, front, we can tell nothing about these chooks from these pictures! Ha Ha

So yeah, this is mostly the view I have of my chicks at the moment, not too scientific!
