French Black Copper Marans Chicken

The French Black Copper Marans are a rare breed not often seen in the United States. An import ban reduced the genetic diversity of the French Black Copper Marans and flocks of this chicken are therefore hard to find. Hatchery® carefully breeds this chicken to improve genetic diversity and advance the health of the chicken. “This breed lays an egg with a light red color to light chocolate bloom color on the shell that are a favorite among chefs and farmers alike. Due to the rarity of this breed, limited quantities are available so order yours as soon as possible and contact us to find out when new chicks are available. Our cackle flocks lay eggshell colors of 4-8 on the French Marans Egg color chart found in the gallery with 5% laying a color 9 for the 2022 season. Each season we are able to improve the shell color through selective breeding and infusing new bloodlines into our breeding program.
