Cuckoo Marans Hens - Premium French Heritage Breed

Cuckoo Marans are a charming French breed famous for their rich, dark brown eggs and calm demeanor. Their barred gray-and-black feathers give them a classic look, while their friendly nature makes them a favorite among families and backyard chicken keepers. With consistent laying and hardy genetics, they're both beautiful and practical.

Physical Features and Traits

  • Appearance: Feather pattern resembles a soft "cuckoo" barring — slate-gray and black alternating bands. Hens have a soft, rounded look with subtle pinkish legs.

  • Egg Production: Lays 150–200 large, chocolate brown eggs per year.

  • Size: Hens reach 6–7 lbs; roosters grow to 7.5–8 lbs.

  • Hardiness: Cold-hardy and resilient in most climates; adapts well to confinement or free-range systems.

Why Choose Cuckoo Marans?

These birds are quiet, sweet-natured, and excellent layers of the darkest eggs you'll likely see in your egg basket. They're an ideal addition to flocks that value temperament, appearance, and unique egg color.

🔑 Key Features:

  • Chocolate-brown eggs with exceptional richness in color

  • Gentle, docile personalities perfect for families or beginners

  • French heritage breed with elegant barred feathering

  • Strong disease resistance and good winter laying ability

  • Adds depth and rarity to your flock's egg color spectrum

Cuckoo Marans hens are a top choice for keepers who want standout eggs, calm birds, and a bit of European flair in the coop. Their beauty, productivity, and personality make them a timeless breed worth adding to any flock.

Breed Info & FAQ
Fluffy white chick on a white background

Can I add an extended warranty after placing my order?

Yes, extended coverage such as GritShieldâ„¢ can usually be added as long as your birds have not shipped yet, so contact support promptly if you decide you want extra protection. Once birds are in transit, new warranty add-ons are limited availability.

Can I get baby chicks via local Arizona pickup instead of shipping?

Baby chicks are not offered for Arizona meetup pickup because all chick hatching and early brooding is concentrated at our Texas farm for safety and year-round logistics. If you prefer not to ship day-olds, consider ordering pullets or older hens for local pickup, or hatching eggs if you want to incubate at home instead.

Can I visit your farm or pick out birds in person?

For biosecurity reasons we do not offer public farm tours or in-person selection of breeding stock, because a single outside disease introduction can threaten entire flocks. Instead, we share photos, education, and detailed guidance online and through partners so you can see how birds are raised without compromising flock health.
