My Blue Copper Roos that I got from Pinkchick about 8 months ago. I call them "The Blues Brothers".

This one is Jake.

This one is Elwood, I believe.

My chickens are not show chickens...they are just "Backyard Chickens".

Nice boys Mel!
Well I candled(sort of) last night and can say that I have development in 12/13 Birchen eggs and 6/7 Whites and all the GCM's of my own are showing dark. My flashlight is not as strong as I would like but I can tell the difference between started and clear so I hope they don't qut. All will go to locdown, the Birchens and GCM's go in on Sunday the Whites go down on next Weds. So please please

Speaking of PHOTOS... I would like to see some photos of your "studliest" Blue Roosters, Blue Copper Roosters and Splash Copper Roosters?!?!?!




I ask because I have a two blue hens(out of B.D. BCM) that I would like to pair up with a Blue Copper Rooster? I believe that should give me Blues and Blacks. So I would like to see some stud roos to have an visual idea of what I should be looking for.

Looking forward to scrolling thru some photos

I feel like my 2 roos have good color and size, but they have obvious defects that keep them from being of show or breeding quality.
Jake has white in his tail and a dark blue spot in his chest. Elwood has way too many points on his comb and if a judge ever heard him crow he would DQ him for doing a bad imitation of a chicken.
But I think that they look cool and they do have a lot of personality.

Mel, too many points on a comb is only a 1/2 of a point deduction!

I posted this pic the other day, but will repost it again for you. This is my splash copper boy...he is 7 months old and still growing like a weed. I don't have a name for him yet, I call him Big Boy so far as he is just monsterous.
You missed this pic by the way Debbi when the weather was crappy down your way.
