“I'm sitting in the brooder with my 8-2 week old chicks and was thinking about what wonderful chickens I have and how pleasant my experiences have been with this hatchery. I have a very special splash marans that I got from My Pet Chicken last spring (along with several other chicks) and she is by far the sweetest, smartest hen I've ever had. She lets herself into the screened porch every morning and joins me for coffee. Because of her I just got 3 more marans (a birchen, silver and golden cuckoo) and hopefully they'll be as amazing as my sweet Charlotte. Thanks for your fantastic customer service and for the best chickens I could ever ask for.”

“I got one five weeks ago. She arrived in good health and was instantly a friendly girl. She has the sweetest disposition of the seven chicks I received. She is very pretty as well!”
Thank you for taking the time to let us know how your little Blue Splash Maran baby is doing! This breed is not only absolutely beautiful but, like your girl, are known to be friendly and just wonderful birds for any flock!
“The first 3 we ordered all passed at different stages. From 2 days old to 4 months old. BUT I love this breed. I ordered 3 more a couple of months later and they are good. I kept on trying because these are the friendliest chickens I have ever had. And beautiful birds that come running to me to be held!! 15 years of chickens and first time. Reading the comments on child death makes me think maybe not a hardy breeed till you get them to 6 months? But I will always have some in my flock ❤️”
Blue Splash Marans are absolultely gorgeous birds known to be hardy, calm and quiet. They also tolerate confinement well if a flock keepers chooses to not allow free ranging. We do not believe they are more prone to weakness as young pullets or cockerels but always keep an eye out for any trends so we appreciate your letting us know your observation as an experience flock keeper. If you ever have any questions or concerns about any of your birds or flock keeping to include supplies, please let us know. We are happy to help!
“I’m so devastated even writing this post. We ordered 3 splash marans a week apart from each other. We lost the first one within 2 days, which MPC graciously refunded us for and then we lost the next two— one within a week and the other by week 3. Not sure what was going on with these precious little babes but they did not do well. The most recent one who died was the smallest of the group of 4 we got and she was never as lively as the rest of her flock of marans (black copper). We were just so excited for this breed and I’m so sad. We will hopefully try again next spring with better luck. I don’t blame MPC, I think more just bad luck on these little ones.
Others in our flock are doing well, we have 3 black copper marans, 3 Plymouth rocks, 1 buff, 2 blue bountifuls, 1 blue Americana, and 1 green queen.”
We were so very sorry to hear of the loss of your little Blue Splash Maran babies and understand how devastating it is when the breed you were hoping for does not thrive. We are thankful that we were able to cover the one baby under the live arrival guarantee. Again, we are very sorry for your loss and comforted to hear the remaining little ones from your order are doing well. Please reach out to My Pet Chicken any time you have questions or concerns, we are here to help as best as we are able.
