International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

Blaze can go . you need space for the young stock ,we have to keep few of them to get older .so you need to get ready of the one we don t need .
you have a healthy number of young chicks ,so don t rush them too early . Cull of BLC cockerels , keep only few BLC pullets with nice hackle marking .the rest can go .
keep BC to select from .

I will check but he has white in foot, tail and I believe in hackles. Not 100% sure in hackles I will check.

I went out and took pictures but bad time of morning as the sun was rising. The BC pullets are getting some good Copper. Hard to get a good picture of it. When the light hits just right. It's beautiful I even have one BLC getting some copper even more difficult to get a picture of.

This pen are all from Blaze. There are 3 pullets in this hatch. They are almost 10 1/2 weeks. All three have good color. Hard to get it to show in pictures. The camera darkens them in the pictures. So some pictures don't look like they have any Copper at all. So weird!
