“We have a assortment of Marans, Black Copper, Splash, White do lay beautiful eggs and very consistent layers all year around. Wonderful temperaments follow you around like little puppies. Marans are not fearful, calm can get eggs out without being bitten and do not pick on my other birds in my mixed flock. Not to big but not to small & just a pleasure to own. Can't wait to see what the 3 Birchen chicks, we just ordered, what their eggs will look like. Those dark reddish brown eggs really add a lot of color in a egg carton. Such fun to enjoy those colored eggs!”
