    International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

    I actually love the shape on that guy. He CHONKY. Nice tail angle, a bit of a halo on his hackle, though otherwise his copper is pretty good. He has a fold in his wattle, and I am not real keen on the comb. Is that a double point and a small thumbprint on the blade? Eye color should be brighter...

    Feeding your LGD when you have turkeys

    Here is what I have had to do in the past in feeding a livestock guardian that guards poultry along with goats: I bring him meals 2 times a day. He eats the meal and I remove the bowl. If I did not do this with the younger one, he would get mad at the birds and eventually would guard his food...

    Wrath's Marans

    when we find a breed and variety we really like, we get to gush over it. I would certainly get immediately annoyed if someone told me their generic variety bird was better, unless they could back it up. I have, in fact, gotten annoyed about it when people message me looking for black copper...

    Glad you like. I get real nervous selling art, you never know if people appreciate living breathing works of art or if they just see a chicken.

    I am glad you had a much better hatch this year. They all look pretty alright so far. Hope those tails settle down a little

    this juvenile has a red gene, a blue gene, and a penciled gene, and I think one black gene. What do you guys think? Does that make a semi penciled rusty slate? Is the tri coloring there too, like cgcg?

    His biggest issue is his comb.

    There is one cockerel coming up that has caught my eye. I'm gonna need to remember to post him. He's smart, handsome, and CHONK.

    overall these look healthy and they look like Marans. The black copper ones have a bit of an extra fluffy cushion giving them a more u shaped back instead of a wide flat back, but that is definately not unusable and can be worked with.Tail angles on black copper pullet 2 and 3 seem rather high...
