International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[wrathsfarm]

Way too skinny, breast not deep enough. Compared to width. Too leggy. Crooked toe?

Yes, it had grew and fused into the webbing at hatch. Their were 2 boys and a girl that I had to cut the webbing on. All from Angel.

In the middle about this one. Nothing stands out but he isn’t the worst. Just a bit scruffier with his comb and how his feathers have grown in.

That was my thinking also so I kept him to watch a little while longer.

What would be the best 2 out of these 3 if I kept only 2?
My thoughts are red and blue/yellow if I had to pick at this moment.

I haven't hatched any eggs from Jett yet, but I'm thinking I should. I was only looking at her egg color which is not very dark and elongated. If I'm strictly looking at type/mass leg width what's your thoughts on her?

Her egg color is slightly darker than the pic shown.

Wow those are gorgeous.

Who was the sire to the daughter?

It was the rooster I kept around long enough to get some fertile eggs. We nicknamed him BigBully. He was big and muscular looking.

Ah, I remember. It's a shame he got aggressive with your family, but he darkened up his daughters eggs nicely.

This dude is finally starting to fill in his tail. He's also gaining some mass. So excited to see him mature!
