Let's talk Golden Cuckoo Marans!

[Red Banks]

My BCM did not have a tail for over two months. He was the best looking BCM I ever owned unfortunately when he finally did get a tail it was wry.

Hi Morbius18

I don t think you need any other Blue.
you have one of the best blue copper hen and her Barred son .don t add any thing to then befor a few years to come . true inbred BLGC from one hen . that what I think.

after 3rd year you can out cross them to other line to restore a hybrid vigor.

I m in love with your blue copper hen .she s special .

Bev Davis line are a good genetic stock . I like her work , great Breeder.

you don t need the partridge a long way and a lot culling. you don t need that ,especially with a success you are having with a GCB and your new BLGC marans project .

Good day my friend.

I m guessing , we don t know how many modifying genes does he carry . Co +B + Db ??????????

A few updated pics of the Blue Golden Cuckoo cockeral. He's getting a little barring.

I'm in the middle of getting ready to move the flock. I've killed 4 excess roosters and have preparing a temporary run at my brother's house. We close on our old house morning and get the new one in the afternoon. Very hectic.

I've been noticing there was something off about my lighter young cockeral that had the brown face:

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a tail

Here is some recent pics of this bird:

He's getting gold on his chest.
