International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Chooks man]

Is there still a chance of getting rid if it? I thought since Jasper has it. All his offspring would too. Could him being bred to storm. If she is truly free produce ones free of white?

yes . you only need one breeder bird from the pair to be free from the fault .
she is not related to him ? if I remember you said she is sister or half sister ?

Storm is sister or 1/2 sister to Jasper.

I tried to catch Jasper and he got away. I will try tonight to see his under fluff. Does his white foot feather look light grey? Very light grey? It is frustrating me not being able to catch him. He definitely needs spurs cut.

Do these look like BCM chicks?
