French Black Copper Marans

ABOUT

Black Copper Marans are known for their dark brown eggs, often with a lot of speckles. I chose this breed for my farm because I love that rare dark chocolate egg. They make a solid foundation for project egg colors such as Olive, Rose and heavy blooms that can be purple, and for their friendly, docile temperaments.

I selected my flock from a range of breeders across the country that focus on the Standard (SOP) for Black Copper Marans. I select only the most ideal birds that lay the darkest eggs; the others become Olive Eggers or go into my free-ranging layer flock.
