    🐣🐥Black Copper Marans and Whiting True Blues. Lots of videos🎥

    Chicks are doing good at about 4-1/2 weeks now. They’re getting used to the main flock, but still sleeping in the brooder. There’s a good variety of traits in this cross. I’m interested to see how they mature. Hopefully I’ll get a few pullets with something like wild type pattern, pea combs...

    Feather color genetics

    I didn't think aracuanas had beards and muffs. I've never heard of a pingle comb haha. is that what this is? He's half black copper marans and half whiting true blue.

    Araucana hatching eggs?

    No, I didn't get any Aracauna eggs. I decided the double tufted lethal gene and any potential issues with not having a tail are probably not beneficial traits for my flock.

    Got 29 healthy babies moved out to the outdoor brooder. Lots of diversity as far as colors, muffs, fibro, combs, and egg color genetics. Plenty of directions I could go in making selections. If I could put all the traits together into one flock they would be a chipmunk patterned chicks for good...

    thanks Wrath, 1 more hatched overnight to make it 29/31. Most of the chicks are olive egger and fibro Easter egger mixes and and about 6 of them are black copper maran backcrosses. I’m happy to have some diverse patterns in the chicks, my flock only has 2 duckwing birds and the other 14 are...

    Nice earthy tones today. Waiting for the the first eggs from the 17 wk old pullets. I’ve got 2 black copper Marans pullets, 1 easter egger, and 1 olive egger. My luck went south and I didn’t get a black copper marans rooster this last hatch. @wrathsfarm are you able to ship eggs this way?

    International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

    Here's a pic of one of my 15wk old olive egger cockerels. He's out of a black copper marans hen crossed with a whiting true blue rooster. I thought y'all would like to see the inheritance of the marans. There's 3 cockerels and they look basically the same. You can see there is ever so slight...

    THE KORAHMA GIANT PROJECT - NEW CHICKEN BREED TO BE DEVELOPED

    You are absolutely correct to call me out on that. My apologies. That statement was a significant error on my part. Let me correct that. Cochins have a single comb. The gene for a single comb is recessive (p). Brahmas have a pea comb. The gene for a pea comb is dominant (P). Therefore, in...

    THE KORAHMA GIANT PROJECT - NEW CHICKEN BREED TO BE DEVELOPED

    yes, i asked gemini to take your plan and add jersey giant. It can definitely make mistakes. I asked "why do you say pea comb and feathered legs are recessive?" and it came up with: That's an excellent question that gets to the heart of Mendelian genetics. My previous response stated that...
