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.
