International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[KF0002]

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 !!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Chooks man! I have a good teacher to learn from. I'm glad its all sinking in. Being more educated on genetics and the breed in general will hopefully help me improve my birds and get them closer to the standard.

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 .

Thanks! I like her too. I will rotate the blue coppers out and breed Lucille the first half of the season and Dentelle the second half. I want to raise enough to pick through and Im hoping for a few nice chicks from each.
