International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[Chooks man]

I am going to put both Rose and Jade in with Jasper. A friends daughter was playing with the last hatch of chicks and now 2 or 3 are missing leg bands. Not good!

you are not having a good luck my friend .
as long as you know where the BC cockerel Mossy boy come from is good for .

I think you are alright if he has white on his tail ,
problem the original rooster will give you less BC chicks to work with next year .
if you think you have hatched enough BC pullets from Blaze ,than finish him off .and breed to Jasper .

All my chicks now come from Blaze over Jade, Rose and Pearl except 2 chicks are from Jasper and the one hen that layed the nice dark round egg. I have moved Jaspers hens and the 1 BC in with Blaze. Do you still want me to hatch from them or move them in with Jasper.

 

[marchick]

Chooksman, have 26 chicks so far and about a dozen more eggs in lockdown but 5 eggs are from Pearl.

I asked you how many BC chicks you got from Blaze?

if you have 5 or 6 BC pullets and 1 or 2 BC cockerels from Blaze .I think you should be fine .
I m only talking about BC chicks from Blaze.

very sad to hear that .
let see if I got alright = Buster from KY has not Split wings but his half brother has a split wings .
the 2 hens are from your line ,they don t have split wings ? or they have ?
chicks you got from this trio are majority Split wing ?.= if yes ,then it is recessive gene effect . both parent are carriers .

wait for more information from you before I go deep into breeding from those chooks .

great you are happy with you CLB chicks and OE .

none of the parents have split wing. Buster has half brother who does have split wing and hens have a half brother who also has split wing(my other cock bird). Assuming you are right on with all parents being recessive carries which gave me 100% split wing chicks on first hatch. Is it possible to hatch “non-split wing” from this trio? I am thinking not.

I believe I have 6 BC last hatch. The 2 BC cockerels from first hatch. 3 BC pullets from 2nd hatch. So 11 so far.

 

[marchick]

Three pullets from second hatch and you have seen the 2 cockerels from first hatch.
