More about Marans Chickens
Character & features
Cuckoo and Black Copper describe different feather patterns within the Marans family. These offers are listed separately so you can choose the appearance you want without confusing the breed with an egg-pack option.
Match the birds to your purpose: a laying flock, an ornamental group or a planned breeding setup. Talk to us about the particular birds if temperament or handling is important to you.
Suitability & care
Choose the named variety you want and plan enough space for the adult birds. If egg shade matters, ask about the particular laying line rather than selecting by plumage alone.
Plan a flock around adult size, space and the balance of hens and cockerels. Have shelter, feed and fresh water ready before the birds arrive. Our chicken house and run guide helps you prepare the setup.
Breed background
Marans takes its name from a French town. It became established in Britain as a dual-purpose breed during the twentieth century.
