French Black Copper Marans Baby Chicks are beautiful, rare, feathered footed birds that lay some of the darkest brown chocolate colored eggs of any breed. Quiet, gentle but active birds, these live baby chickens enjoy foraging and free ranging but also tolerate confinement well. Although these live baby chicks for sale are quite winter hardy, these egg laying chickens are not good winter layers. Hens may begin to lay around 8-9 months of age with their eggs being darkest and lightening slightly as they age. Friendly, docile and easily handled, these live chickens have a great nature, are not flighty or skittish. Hens do tend to be broody and if allowed to sit make good mothers. Some French chefs claim they are the most delicious eggs available and they are far superior in taste and quality. Not only will you have a beautiful flock adding this breed to your brood, your egg basket will also benefit from the beauty of the dark eggs.
For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

Q: Why do yall only have straight run yesterday yall had hens available i check the app frequently and never do yall have hens available and when yall finally did It was for a few hours what’s the deal this is high demand breed
5 months ago1 Answer
- A: Hi, I understand how frustrating it is to track a specific breed like the French Black Copper Marans, only to see the female (hen) availability vanish in a matter of hours. These are indeed high-demand "designer" birds. The high demand for these hens is driven by their famous chocolate-brown eggs, making female chicks sell out almost immediately after they are listed.5 months agoHelpful?
