International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Chooks man]

Yes, i still have him. I was worried about his legs and knees being too close together but he has grown to be a beautiful cockerel so far.

But he is aggressive toward me in the cockerel pen. I am hoping he calms down when I move him to the breeding pen.

I will get pics later today.

That geat he still a life .post some photos of him .shame he turn up aggressive .chooks man

Seamus was aggressive before I put him with the hens and then was a gentile boy. I am hoping the same for this guy.

I know the types of photos you want but this is the best I can do at the moment.
He is the one with the yellow leg band.

I now have 6 cockerels growing out.
The 4 I culled were stunning but began showing so much white at a young age.

The 6 I have left have no white so far.
They look very nice. One has a high tail so he will not stay.

I will try to get pics today.

This morning I see there are 5, not 6.
Ive been culling as I see too much white coming in.

The 5 that are left have not shown any white so far.

Squirrel tail and holds his body so high. He will be culled.

Chooks man ! So very glad to have you back! Was concerned about you with all that's been going on in the world.

So sorry you have had troubles. Hopefully things are much better for you now. Make sure you are taking care of yourself.
I'm still looking forward to your book, too!

I wanted to say I have a quote of something you said in 2020 on this thread. It really affected me in a positive way so I saved it. I copied and pasted from this thread exactly how you said it, too. Sometime when I've had a rough time I go back and read it. It is such a lovely thought.

"don t stress .take it easy ,do only what can . don t force thing .we are passing { all the world} through hard times .
don t never forget after the winter ,there is summer . if you are not happy with a winter ,just wait for the summer ,because the winter will passes .nothing stay a same in this life .
if we can no do thing is Ok .we are here in life to live not to do things ."
