I'm glad you corrected me on this. I knew better than that, I refer to my BBS chart regularly. Pardon my night shift sleep deprived stupor. lol

To get 50% splash and 50% blue you would have to mate a blue to a splash.

yes my friend .
there is one thing the splash matted to the blue is a worst of time .they do not benefit from each other .
a Splash will give a better result if it is bred to a splash .
a Blue will give a great result if bred to a BC.

your understanding of the marans chooks breed genetic is very high now . you are a fast learner . you should be very proud of your self . Respect to you !!!!!!!!!!

Not to confuse things but BLCM rooster #3!!! This is the last of my four roosters. As you can see this rooster has lighter highlights in his tail feathers. Thats what I wasn't sure about.

Look no further this is the rooster I was talking about. It's the third blue copper but the fourth bird I posted. Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't sure about the lighter undertones in his tail. I am thinking eventually I will need to find a home for one of them. Three pens and 4 roosters. Depends on if two can live together in my main pen. So far so good but never know.

Dentelle is gorgeous . love her body type .
in this photos she was younger .her blue plumage has many tones . great lacing .
I love to see how she look s now .
the Black part around the bottom part of her hackle is letting her down . if was copper than she ll stunning .
love her thick head . great cockerel will come from her .

2 roosters in one pen is possible but they need a space and lot more hens.

good luck

I know exactly how you feel! I am on the waiting list for some White Legbars (recessive white from Jill Rees line). I feel like I have waited forever! lol

I waited for my White marans ( recessive white ) for one year .
