Maximus is 4 months old today (dec 24, 2015) id like to know how well or how bad he is looking so far... he still has a little ways to plume out fully... just my first fbcm roo... trying to get an idea of how to judge them for breeders...
I'm no expert by any means, but I know quite a few breeders on BYC that say at this stage, unless there is a DQ fault then you shouldn't cull. He needs to fill out and get all his adults feathers in before you judge him properly If you need a good opinion of him though I would recommend asking on these threads : https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/444381/black-copper-marans-discussion-thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/383387/marans-thread-breed-discussion-pictures-are-welcome
4 months. It's a cockerel. Let's just start there. When he's 9-10 months old, you'll have a better idea of what you have.
