I also have birds from this breeder. They are very nice birds they come from Wade Jeane lines. I have been to his farm as it is a very nice and CLEAN farm . I bought BCM chics and Cuckoo chics and eggs from him. One of the nicest man that you will ever meet and He is very honest. It just amazes me how quick some people are to judge the owners of Black Copper Marans . Hey I am just a stay at home Mom who lives in the Country and I am Blessed to have these birds. Chickens are my Hobby as many of yours are too. Please do not send any ugly post just rember what your Grandma told you when you were growing up " If you can't say something nice , DON'T say anything at all !!"
