So my roo is a blue copper maran and the breeds of hens I have are Rhode Island Red, Columbian wyandotte, calico princess, black sex link, light brahma, buff brahma, and barred rock. I also have a hen that's the same as the roo but I think I know what will come from that lol. My question is how many of you have done blue copper maran roo to one of these breeds of hens or the ones below and if you have do you have any pictures or updates on these offspring? How many eggs they're laying? Or if you butchered the offspring do they have a decent amount of meat? I also read marans struggle to fertilize more then 8 hens. I'm already at 12 hens and I would like to add a couple more a salmon faverolles, Orpington, and a Cochin. If you were gonna add a second rooster to keep fertility rates up what would you pick? I would like something that's completely different then the blue copper maran but would still up meat and egg production with his genetics.
