I'm curious about these ones too! I picked up one this year because I had never heard of them and thought they looked beautiful. Well she "Iris" is so much bigger than the rest of my 8 week pullets. Solid black with an iridescence to her feathers. Making me nervous that she is a cockerel. Based on everyone else's comments maybe they are just bigger ladies?
Ahh, I see. Thanks!The iridescence is nothing to be concerned about. It occurs in all black birds regardless of sex or breed.
Any hatching eggs for sale of this breed?Midnight Majestic Maran female at eight weeks.
So are these Midnight Majesty Marens the same things as these Dominate Copper that are available at Jenks Hatchery?

I am wondering the same thing. I have two of the Dominant Coppers from Jenks and the descriptions are extremely similar. The Dominant Coppers are supposed to be from a Black Copper Marans rooster crossed with a Barred Rock hen. They are also supposed to be color sexable at hatch. Mine are about 5 weeks old now and I'm not entirely convinced they are what they were claimed to be. One is starting to look suspiciously like a cockerel even though coloring should make them both pullets. Waiting to see how things develop.
That mix is guaranteed sexable. Genetics can’t be altered. Solid male over barred female = solid pullets and barred cockerels.I am wondering the same thing.
