This Rare Assortment could include any of the following extremely rare Marans: Black Copper Marans, Blue Splash Marans, Golden Cuckoo Marans, White Marans. (no guarantee of varieties or quantities of each)

Black Copper Marans
Marans originated in western France in a town by the same name and are known for their dark brown eggs. As with all dark brown egg layers, the eggs are the darkest at the beginning of the laying cycle. The eggs will lighten slightly then return to darkest color after a period of rest. Black Copper Marans do well on free range as they do not cause as much damage through heavy scratching. These feathered legged birds are fast growers and make a good duel purpose breed.

Blue Splash Marans

Available as day old chicks in Marans Assortment only. Like all Marans, our Blue Splash Marans lay a darker brown egg. Though it is not nearly as dark as our Black Copper Marans. Eggs will always be darkest at the beginning of a laying cycle and lighten slightly, then return to the darkest color after a period of rest. They have feathered-legs and make a good dual purpose breed.

Golden Cuckoo Marans

Available as day old chicks in Marans Assortment only. Like all Marans, The Golden Cuckoo Marans lay a darker brown egg. Also like all Marans the eggs will be darker at the beginning of a laying season. A desirable trait with this variety is that the females tend to be darker than the males. This makes them easy to sex upon hatching. This variety is clean-legged and makes a good dual purpose breed. (feather legged Golden Cuckoo Marans are available only as hatching eggs)

White Marans

Available as day old chicks in Marans Assortment only. White Marans are a fast growing bird and work great as a dual purpose breed. These birds are a beautiful snow white color with feathered-legs, are early to mature and are very gentle. They lay a darker brown egg but the eggs are not nearly as dark as the Black Copper Marans. Again, the eggs will be darkest at the beginning of a laying cycle.

Average mature Marans weight:
Rooster 8 lbs., Hens 7 lbs.
