Yes I have many pens and roll out next boxes with trap doors. I am retired and have plenty of time to play with my toys. TOMAnd how will you do this?
I am assuming i cage a couple at a time to identify?

If anyone wants black copper marans I'm going to be hatching some. I'm in Northern Arkansas. Please message me for more info!
Well, I have no way or means to separate her from cockerels. I haven't ever done that or knew it was even a suggested thing to do. I have other Black Coppers she isn't the only one.please do not breed your gorgeous BC pullets yet ,she need to be separated from the cockerels ,so she can keep growing to her full potential .
marans are slow maturing and if pullets are kept with cockerels ,that will stun they growth .
she need to reach 2.5kg minimum to mate her to cockerel . other wise she will never grow properly .

Thank you! I wish I had the means to do it the right way but I sadly don't.Ah good to know you have other BCM pullet .
for marans pullet to reach adult weight of 3kg she need all the energy she can get to make it . good practice we separate pullets from cockerels at 4 months of age . we give a pullets all time they need to reach the proper weight .
if you no space than it is hard to do ,
pullets deal with a lot stuff when they start laying ,they have to keep growing to reach they full weight ,plus they have to lay eggs , plus they have to make ink to color the eggs , we don t want to add the cockerel stress on a top of that .
10 month old ,pullets can be penned with cockerels . not before ,not fair on the pullets .
I m not telling you what to do with your chooks .I m just trying to help you understand how breeding marans work .
