Dominant Coppers are a unique breed, they are imported from the Czech Republic, and they are a proprietary heritage / hybrid cross between a Black Copper Maran male and a Barred Rock female. With a feather color that resembles that of a Copper Maran, this breed forages well. It will produce an impressive 290+ large copper-to-dark chocolate-colored eggs per calendar year, which is exceptional for a breed that lays dark eggs. The Dominant Copper is an excellent balance of beautiful eggs and efficiency.
