Color genetics wise, is it okay to breed a French Black or Blue Copper Maran rooster to a French Wheaton Maran? Thank you in advance.

Can stupid combs appear overnight?

 

[Cattitude]

A carnation? I've heard that some BCMs are plagued by that problem.

Hope you don't have any more of them appear.

Well she's my only Black Copper. so I shouldn't have the problem pop up anywhere else.

Her sister, a Blue Copper has a correct comb.

I'm just kinda bummed over it.

DON: Thank you for your insight on breeding the blue pullet! And the GCM pullet. I always learn a ton from you.

Jeremy: anytime...just give me a heads up so I can collect eggs for you before you get here.

Sew: Would love to see pics of the group you hatched from my eggs if you get time!
