International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Braxton Brigade]

You are already an asset to this thread. I have not been involved in chickens that much longer than you have. Thank goodness for everyone that shares on this thread. I am working on some old trays that I found. Totally off topic. They look pretty on the table next to my eggs!

I love those! They are quite nice contrast for the eggs.

I want to see the little chick. It is the "bébé miracle".

There is a new thread, Focus on Marans. A great place to show off your birds!

I am so bad at combs. I want to help but this is my weakest understanding of the SOP. I am anxious to read what someone else has to say.

A sea of copper Hard to get them to hold still for good close ups huh? Lol. That's what I get, they all bunch together. Lots of copper for sure. Hoping for more on the one I have high hopes for( one from a cpl years ago was pretty dark but coppered out at about a yr old)

It is a good comb.
Nice and sturdy looking.
No obvious bumps or sprigs, is that a bump right below the 5th point?
Face is free of excessive facial skin, waddles are a good medium size as is his comb.

The guy that I put that mark under in the second picture is nice, he's a well broad guy.
I think he's my favorite.
