Marans are widely known for having the “best tasting egg in the world.” Marans eggs are dark brown in color or deep red chestnut in other parts of the world. Marans will lay approximately 150 eggs per year. Marans eggs are nothing similar to what you are used to eating from the store. Marans egg color can be compared to dark chocolate but that doesn't even describe the range of their color hues. Marans are excellent dual purpose birds, and can reach a weight of 6-8 pounds! With their large sized dark brown eggs, along with excellent tasting meat these birds are a great choice for a backyard flock or a homestead family.
French Black Copper Marans have been around for decades and originated in France several years ago. They have proven themselves to be very hardy birds, heat and cold tolerant, and easy to care for.
Customer Reviews
Hello everyone my name is Diamond and i am completely satisfied with my order. No words can really explain how happy and excited I am with this journey with the marans. Best decision I could have made. Packaging was so perfect no eggs where cracked. I definitely recommend Azchicken to everyone you won’t regret it. Thank you again.
Great experience with hatching eggs. Colwyn was friendly and upfront with the expectations for hatching eggs.
Received 13 (one extra!) perfect maran eggs! Loved the variety of dark brown shades I received! Packaging was superb, all the eggs were in perfect shape and looked like air cells were in tip top condition! Communication before and after ordering from AZ Chickens was top of the line customer service! Will definitely be ordering from them in the future!
I ordered a dozen, received an extra. Shipping package was great, eggs were shipped in a 12” deep soft polyurethane foam. All eggs are in the incubator and being monitored. The eggs I received were the color range I ordered.
I’ve had excellent service from Az Chickens and have additional eggs on order for delivery in July.
I was beyond pleased with the color of the hatching eggs and currently in the incubator! Looking forward to them hatching and starting my own flock of BCM's.
