this is for french copper marans - bev davis is the line you want, but she doesn't sell directly to the public most of the time. look for very dark eggs, if they arent dark- they arent considered marans.

after looking at several barred rock pictures this is the best ones i can find easily on ebay. here on BYC i think fred's hens raises some really nice ones, but i cant remember if it was him for sure.

lol its okay! are any of your birds hatchery stock?

 

[loveourbirds]

some are, but there is a trick to dealing with hatchery stock.

order from a reputable hatchery, usually small ones are better (as a rule of thumb).

order 50 to choose 1 or 2. breed at least 50 from a pair and select 4 pullets and one cockerel.

remember that just because you breed to show quality chickens together - does not (always) make show quality chickens.

 

[Frankie Ruiz]

never thought of it like that! and unfortunately i just dont have the money at the moment to go into major breeding operations. i would like to sometime in the near future though. but youre chickens are of breeder quality and dont most hatchery stock birds right? what would you say is the best looking breed you have

 

[Frankie Ruiz]

and dont look like most hatchery stock birds** sorry
