Our French Black Copper Marans breeding stock is from the Wade Jean line. The eggs are used by many world-renowned chefs. The French Black Copper Marans lay the darkest brown eggs of any variety of chicken. We have great egg color on the Marans Egg Color Chart. We sell Black Copper Marans chicks, hatching eggs and young started pullets. French Black Copper Marans were developed in France and are famous for their chocolate brown eggs. The English standard calls for clean legs, we breed to the French standard of feathered legs. French Black Copper Marans are bred for egg color not for high egg production. The slower the egg is passed the more the egg is colored. However, Marans are good on egg production. We've had our Marans line for 16 years, we've kept the line pure, adding in NO other lines. ATTENTION: Black Copper Marans chicks are sold straight run! We require orders of a minimum of 10-day old chicks. These 10 can be a mix of any of our breeds. This keeps the babies warm and healthy in the box. We guarantee live delivery of 10 or more chicks. If you choose vaccinated chicks, we vaccinate for Marek's only, you will need to feed chicks a medicated chick feed. If you wish to order fewer you can contact us. This would be for an order for farm pickup of less than 10, or an order of less than 10 that has no live delivery guarantee.
