International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[RebeccaBoyd]

Went out and got some pictures of everyone. Not very easy to do when everybody wants to mob you thinking you have treats...which i did lol. First up 2 more of Clover since she sorta posed for me a bit today. That is rare for her as she still HATES the camera. I love this girl and can't wait for that first egg.

Clover's full 2 sisters Remi and Blackie. They were hatched and being raised by my game hen who is still hanging onto them and has no sign yet of letting go even though they are already bigger than her.

And finally we have the Holly x Drumstick babies. This group is the hardest to take pictures of as everyone either wants in my lap or are demanding treats. I actually love that they are so friendly, but it backfires when you try to take a decent picture of them.

And for fun, this is what most of my pics of the last group of chicks look like. They knew I had their favorite treat dried cranberries in my pockets.

I like what I see so far in this quad. They will change some as they mature but so far so good. Holly & Drumstick make a good pairing. You’ve done well!
