their father was a blue wheaten and the moms were mossy black coppers.i read somewhere where the mossies have wheaten blood.is that right?
they lay very dark brown eggs.

Because the Marans thread is so huge and (sorry) half of it is filled with chatter, I really don't know. Never read into mossiness enough to say if that is true or not. All I know is that none of my Marans are mossy, none of the Black Coppers have ever given me Wheatens.

A friend of mine had a Wheaten looking BCM.
