French Blue Copper Marans are a striking bird with all the traits of the French Black Copper Maran, that also lay a beautiful dark chocolate brown egg. The great thing about these birds is that you can run blacks and blues together and still have purebred blacks and purebred blues. The blue color gene is a variant of the black gene. Blue is a dilution gene it dilutes out the black to a gray. When you breed blue on blue you will get some splash Marans. One of the most often asked question about our Blue Copper Marans "Are their eggs as dark the Black Copper Marans?" Yes, they are. On the Marans egg color chart, we get great color! The French Blue Copper Marans have a better personality than the French Black Copper Marans. ATTENTION: Blue 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.
