My Black Copper roo was pretty obvious by his comb from the beginning, he had some brownish tinting on his wing, but was basically black until he got weeks older....the pullets were way blacker with only hints of the copper til they were well feathered out, then the glints turned more pronounced. One is still mostly dark with just hints of Copper....BC is very Coppery now though.

Laurenlulu, the amount of copper varies from breeder to breeder, and bird to bird. Some have more copper than they should, some don't have as much as is desired. Some chicks start showing signs early, others it takes longer. Feel free to post pics. But be patient. Time will tell.

Monarch you sound like a proud mama. Congrats on your new cutiepies.

Well I got my first BC marans egg today from my 6 month old

and it's nice but leaves a little to be desired (I think). Tell me what you think please! It has a very nice speckle to it. Looks like she may have potential!?! Here are some pics.

Chef, that is a lovely first egg. The speckling is a good sign. That pigment should darken and become more uniform. Congrats!

Great news Chef! If that is the first one, she did great! They will get darker over the next couple weeks or so, if she does like mine have done... bravo!

Yes Chef, that is what I have seen in all of mine...they start with speckles and color up! Yay! Tina
