Black Copper Marans Chicks, Pullets and Eggs

Wade Jean Line

Our 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.
