International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

I like the one in the front facing away from the others . Super long body type and back like my speed train and fast train I posted few days ago. Gorgeous tail too and deep chest . Hope he is wide with straight legs .
Need photos of him from all sort of angle . He is the cockerel with a longest body type in that group.
I like the one next to him but facing away from him short and stocky good chest viewed from the front .

@Punkybrewster
looking at her in this photo she does not look great very narrow at the front .not flat back .
what I like is the 2 hens on the right next to each other love the depth of they chest and the width between they legs . cockerels from this 2 hens will not have a norrow body no way .

So these are the chosen ones to keep from JR pen. I can cull the rest and grow out the pullets that I have in the brooder. Yes?
