About Marans Chickens

Renowned for their striking dark eggs

Originating in France, Marans are a well-established heritage breed prized for their unique egg colour and calm temperament. Chicks grow steadily into strong juveniles before maturing into confident adults with soft, often feathered legs and rich plumage.

Hens typically lay 180–210 large dark brown eggs per year and are known for their resilience and ability to maintain laying consistency in varied conditions. Their composed nature makes them easy to manage and a pleasure to keep.

Why Choose Our Marans

Carefully selected from pure french lines

Our Marans chicks, pullets, and hens are raised from carefully selected heritage breeding lines chosen for deep egg colour, strong health, and calm disposition. Birds are well-started, robust, and accustomed to people, ensuring a smooth transition into your flock.

 

Choosing live birds allows you to bypass incubation and enjoy confident, established layers sooner — whether you want to raise chicks on or begin collecting eggs shortly after introducing adult hens.

 

“Perfect for families and heritage flocks — calm, beautiful birds that produce some of the darkest eggs in the world.”

What To Expect

From Chick to Hen

Chicks develop steadily into sturdy juveniles, while pullets mature into reliable hens with impressive egg colour. Once laying begins, Marans reward you with consistently dark eggs and a calm, manageable presence in the coop.

 

They cope well with both free-range and managed systems, making them an excellent choice for keepers seeking a balance of visual appeal, temperament, and productivity.
