International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Chooks man]

I agree 110%, Mrs. Bev has been more than amazing in helping me out. She is the best mentor i could ever imagine having! Im ready to start pairing my crele, silver crele and golden salmons up and start hatching. Once i get my flocks built up the silver salmons will be my next variety to create.

it is nice to get help from a person like her .lucky you .

who old are your silver crele ?

She looks stunning! I am dying to add more varieties but I want to perfect what I have first. Your birds are looking fantastic!!

Thank you, whenever your ready you welcome to any varieties you want that i have. I don't got have them all yet just. Solid blues, BCM, Wheatens, BTB, golden crele, golden salmon and silver crele. And I should have some solid blacks by the end of the year, the blacks are going to Ohio for the final approval meet before i get them, hopefully!! Lol

love to see her eggs colour .

all my gorgeous looking marans pullets do not lay a dark eggs like my old line .the eggs colour is between 3 and 5 at they best .
can not complain .I do have a type ,the comb and the rest .what I need to do is focus in breeding for dark eggs colours and maintaining the body type .
need to fix the body colour of the varieties I m going to work with
I do have enough pullets laying #5 coloured eggs so it is not a bad start .

I'm anxious to see those eggs myself, Mrs. Bev did say they laid pretty decent. I belive she said this guy came out of a number 7, my silver crele male.

I have 2 line of silver crele, and male and female line. He's obviously going to be the sire of my future males.
