International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

(Name Change :D)
Ok. Looks like the young roo will be getting a breeding pen to himself next month!
Focus on good tails, which I think he will do fine with. He seems to have a nice tail.
Focus on feet, the maximum amount of feathers being like Shazia.
Focus on combs, not too many points (5) on the boys, do you know how many for the hens or is it not as strict?
Try for clean, bright eyes.
And I think we’re doing ok with coloring in our birds.

I cannot wait to see the offspring from Shazia and this cockerel. I’ll search for a fitting name.

the number of point on the comb is a same for the hens /pullets as well .
if the comb has less than 5 points ,than they are going to be too large and too much space between them ,
if the comb has more than 5 points ,than they are going to be crowded { the points}

your chooks have a correct body coloring and a proper copper .

I use Diatomaceous earth .
I dust them with it .
I put some of it in they dust bath holes ,
I sprinkle some of it in they nesting boxes .roost bars ,budding and around the hens houses .
I mix it with they mush to worm them as well . one s a month.
