Geebs, My line of Black Copper Marans are basically Wade Jeane and a little Ron Presley throwed in and I am not trying to stay in one line. I would breed a bird from Wanda at the meat market if I thought it would help my Marans. I am breeding for a big Marans with good type. No small female or males here ever. After this next batch I hatch they will just be old Don's Marans. We can put any name on the Marans but it will not change how good they breed.
Oh, forgot to say never another breeder with white in wingor tail section. No white undercolor in the neck hackle undercolor.
I think to develop the good Marans Male you will have to do some of the single matings like I will do thin fall and if that doesn't work will have to leave it up to the experts. I still have around 125 pullets here and about 60-70 have real good type with good back, good front end and nice spread underneath. Now back to producing some equally good males.
