Baby Chicks: Blue Cuckoo Marans

Try something new in your flock! The Blue Cuckoo Marans breed is rare and beautiful, and another in our growing collection of Marans! The barring is more obvious on roosters, and hackle (neck) feathers will tend to be darker than the rest of the body. Like all Marans, the Blue Cuckoo variety is docile and gentle, although somewhat shy. Legs are lightly feathered and the body shape is stately — not too large, not too thin, with an upright posture. Blue Cuckoo Marans are good layers of medium to large, medium-brown eggs.
