A friend ordered these nice chocolate brown eggs, supposedly French Black Copper Marans. There were 12 to start, but only this guy hatched (post office forgot to call and they sat too long). Hens were desired, so a future rooster had to go. I offered to take him to replace my older rooster.
And as he is growing, he has no tail!
I have been looking for comparison pics, and though I have read some threads about this occurring in the FBCM, I don’t remember seeing pictures, so decided I would take some to share.
And if anyone has any input, I’d be happy to hear it: is it really a FBCM? do I have to worry about him breeding my puffy cheek EE girls and having a lethal combo of genes? etc.
He is about 12 weeks old.
