Update pictures. In the second pictures it looks like white in tail but it is not. It is either light reflecting or ground showing through.

98 fertile marans eggs start incubating this morning at 00,00 am
my selection was based on the shape of the egg and the weight 65g and up, not the colour .most of my oldest pullets are laying lighter eggs now .they have been laying for 7 months now .so the colour is not that important now ,but the shape of the egg is going to give me a type of chicks I m looking for .plum type . .
Dominant white Rooster Stillone X best white daughters .30eggs
Black Momba { solid Black} X dark egg layer .his half sisters and pullets from different line not related to him .best eggs .32
Saharacas { dark silver/gold cuckoo} X sisters and half sister white pullets and BC. 30eggs

love his body type and his tail angle . correct specimen . job well done .

@Bantambird
the Blue cockerelfar back has the most complete body pattern . body pattern 10/10
nice body type and lovely tail too .
not much about his comb .
but if I have to chose between the nice comb or a complete body pattern .I always go for the body pattern .
