Your Black Copper Maran is beautiful! I am thinking when I order chickies - I don't know when that will be - but I would get a Black Copper Maran rooster. How is his temperament towards you and the ladies?
I love my 3 Black Copper Maran girls and they have the most beautiful eggs and they are very social and for the most part quiet. They want held and touched. They want treats too ;)!
