Black Copper Marans Crosses

[LittleFluffMom]

So, in case anyone is interested in seeing what they look like....I have a BCM and Splash Bearded Silkie cross cockerel and a BCM and Buff Orpington cockerel. Both have a BCM dad.

You are welcome, I find it interesting that besides color our silkie cockerel crosses appear to have the same body style and shape. For a few years now BCMs have been the main members of my flock and have been the main Rooster breed of my choice. I have several BCM cross hens running around.

Then I have 2 BCM x EE x Wyandotte mix girls.
Blueberry

Raven

Both Raven and Blueberry along with one of my BCM hens are currently broody and setting. The majority of the eggs will have a BCM dad and there is the potential for some more crosses with Buff orps, Cinnamon Queens and Cochins along with a few eggs from Raven and Blueberry.
