1 Dozen (12) Blue, Black and Splash Copper Marans Hatching Eggs
Marans are known for their beauty, in feather and egg color. Their feathered legs add a quirkiness to their more regal plumage.
Our Marans flock is of mixed colors, containing Blue, Black and Spash/Copper hens. Our sires are a Black Copper and a Spash Copper Marans.
In height of production our ladies lay 5 eggs a week that are at least a 6 on the Marans scale color chart, but typically 7-8's. Lighter eggs are common during higher production months, breaks in laying result in the darkest eggs, but each hen is different.
These are excellent dual purpose birds, reaching harvesting size by 6 - 8 months of age and full maturity by 18 months.
We strive to breed to the APA Standard of Perfection for Marans, for the darkest eggs and best temperaments. You have a chance of hatching Blue, Black or Splash Copper with varying expressions of copper. Marans are a young breed in the US and there is much work ahead to perfect this breed overall. While we strive to follow the SOP for this breed, we focus primarily on egg color.
