12+ copper black maran marans "dark" hatching eggs
Our hens have really been laying great. Over the years we have selected not only for dark eggs but also selected for egg production. Our hens have been laying non stop for over a year now. They never skipped laying even through this winter's ice and snow storms.
All of our chickens are pampered as we feed them laying pellets, oats, cracked corn, fruit, home grown vegetables and oyster shells from time to time. They were raised all natural without any antibiotics. We have a 1:5 ratio of roosters to hens in order to ensure the highest fertility rate.
The Marans was developed in France in the mid 1800's in the town for which they are named. They made their way to England in the early 1900's, and quickly became Very Popular for their Very Dark Brown CHOCOLATE color eggs. Black Copper Marans make for an exceptional eating gourmet egg and are highly prized by chiefs around the world.
This is a trait they are still know for today. These beautiful birds were first exhibited in 1929 in Paris by the Poultry Breeders Society of France. Since then they have made themselves popular in various countries around the world.
GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY HATCHING!!!!!!!
