Rooster 🐓 Black Copper Marans

A true chocolate egger! We breed our Black Copper Marans chiefly for egg colour, with an additional view toward hardiness and the breed standard, so you can expect to see an egg anywhere from dark brown to deep reddish-brown, to medium brown with many dark speckles.

Don’t forget that the very darkest eggs you receive from your lovely Black Copper Maran hen will be her first egg, and the eggs will lighten ever so slightly with each egg, up until her annual moult. After that, you will once again see her darkest egg.

Black Copper Marans make lovely pets, too – they are hardy, calm, and quiet and bear confinement well. They are said to be good foragers without being TOO destructive to your garden.
