International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[wrathsfarm]

It smells pretty good so far Marans on the left grocery store on the right pineapple upside down cake in the middle. Potatoes will go on when the cake comes off. I did half the marans when I butchered so I could fit it inside a gallon freezer bagView attachment 3874789

What time is dinner, again?

Come on over we’ll eat when it’s done. I’m still trying to figure out this smoker so I don’t know how long anything takes. I cook to temperature not time

Man, I wish... smack dab in the middle of expanding the Marans coop. Gotta get it somewhat done by dark. Super awesome of an offer, tho. Thanks bud.

The Cornish cross came out tender and juicy throughout the entire bird. The Marans had more and better flavor but it was pretty chewy if I’m being honest. The white meat sections were quite good just tougher than I’m used to and the meat to bone ratio was definitely a lot more bone and less meat than I’m used to seeing. I believe this is an adjustment than I could get used to

The dark meat was extremely chewy and not something I care to have again. I believe it would have been better to cook it in a crockpot at 8 months old. I’m in no way upset about that. I learned an important thing today. I’ll try butchering the next one younger. I currently have 7 12 week old Marans cross cockerel and they can’t all stay.

Hi! I am looking to purchase some very high quality FBCM chicks or hatching eggs.

I’ve been searching and keep finding that breeders everyone suggests have retired and sold flocks.

So who is that breeds to SOP -and- ships?

I do ship but I’m in England so unless you are in the UK it is probably not practical.

Did you check with Little Peddler? They have a Facebook page but I can't go deeper there because I don't.
