Looking for input on my BCM. I am new to the Black Copper Marans breed but these are my 2 favorites. My goal is to work towards SOP and dark egg layers. The pullets egg is a beautiful color. They were hatched Sept 2020. Mostly wondering if they are good breeding stock. Thanks

first of all what they story ,are they related ,hatched from shipped eggs etc...........?
both of them have a good body type ,and priceless copper .
Rooster = good body type short on his feet .
he is thick with good mass .
head = good with good eyes and god comb . could be more tidy .
hackle marking = complete and uniform copper with correct small flames .
back = long and flat ,well colored .
shoulder = the pattern is not complete . need more copper .
tail = little larger and higher . what good about it is free from any parasitic white . great trait .
leg= look good not too tall .well colored { little darker } but ok .well feathered . I can not see how he stand ? need photos from front and rear .
Pullet= is good love her head .comb .
every thing is great about her except her tail is too high . could be fixed in future generation .
I need to know they relation before I can tell is they are good to breed together .
chooks man
