Which French black copper marans rooster do I keep?

[craychixlay]

They are 6 mos old. Here's another pic. #1 Rooster is getting his tail feathers pecked by #2 rooster. Here is #1 and #2 roosters in that order. Do you think #2 will get more coloring in or are they done with coloring at 6 mos? Thanks so much for anyone's input. I'm a beginner.

Some of my girls from the same breeder. They are just starting to lay. I have to order a color chart! One was pretty dark

The last one has one white feather though. And some lighter feathers on rump. Still sticking with the last pic?

Hmm. Parisitic white can be hard to get rid of, but then again, I've never seen or read about an all black Marans. Can you take some close-up pics? I can't really tell from the pics.

Those combs need a little work, but they look like good-sized girls. The mommas need to have a good, straight comb and body shape.

I looked at Roo #1's tail is kind of long, whether it is in good condition or not. Good angle, though.

#2 is not bad as far a shape, but chicks tend to inherit their father's color, and their mother's shape. So that doesn't help things.

Which hen has the best comb? Is she big? What kind of egg does she lay?

All good question . The girls are just starting to lay this week. I got one gorgeous darker egg so far. The rest are 4-5's? I have to get a chart.

I see the white spot under his tail. Is the other spot above his tail? If so, I don't think it's much to worry about.

If not, I'm afraid I can't see. Where is it exactly?
