These Black Copper Marans are from the darkest hatching eggs of my gorgeous exhibition champion line hens and roosters.  These originated from Greenfire farms stock and are from national French champion egg and exhibition lines, as well as an excellent American line.  They should lay some of the darkest eggs you have ever seen.  

Black Copper Marans lay the chocolatey-est, darkest and best tasting eggs in the world!  These birds are gorgeous, calm and friendly.  They don't mind being picked up and are oh so soft!  In the sunshine the black on their feathers looks like a june bug...with so many colors!

Marans originally came from south western France, but quickly became a favorite all over the world, especially in England where it is said that James Bond requested eggs only from this chicken breed for breakfast.

Black Copper Marans are gorgeous birds.  The roosters have bright copper coloring on their neck, back, hackles and saddle feathers and tend to be on the quiet and gentle side.  We selectively breed our flocks to produce the darkest eggs, while also only using roosters and hens that measure up to the American Poultry Association breed standard. We are also active members in the Marans of America Club.  In addition, we also work with select breeders who are also breeding to SOP (standard of perfection) and dark, dark egg colors to minimize inbreeding and offer even more babies to you.  

If you are looking to add a dark egg layer to your backyard chickies, this is a must have.  

Marans are notoriously difficult to sex.  Our guarantee on this breed is only 75% accuracy.  Please take that into account with the quantities ordered, and have a plan for how to rehome any roosters.
