I have had 3 BCM roosters for the last 6yrs they are very docile very protective of their hens. I do have Black Australorps hens so the chicks are 1/2 BCM & 1/2 BA some of them will have feathers on their feet and the egg are terracotta to a very dark terracotta in color. I am very happy with this breed and I always tell people if they're going to get any chicken to get these breed
Im hatching some BCM and have 8 blues copper maran chicks going.. 13 buff orpinten chicks and light sussex also in the incubator! Going to be doing some broilers too.. Its the year of the Chicken here.. 🐔
Do the feathers on their feet come in when they get older? I ordered some blue copper merans and they are around 2 months old but still no leg feathers yet. 😬
That little girl looks just like my Lucy. :) Just had a new hen start laying recently that's dropping a solid 7 or 8 on the egg scale. She's also the blackest of all my hens. I mean midnite kinda black! Not that that means anything, just an observation. She's sure perty. Swamp chickens. After the rains and they're covered in mud head to toe, they get the name honest. hahahaha
I had one and she was mean to lower rank chickens, she always behaved like she doesn't understand what's going on and maybe because of that she was very shy and stayed away from us. Her eggs were dark brown, medium to small and about 4 a week. Was not impressed at all with her personality or her eggs production.
