French Cuckoo Marans Chicks

Embark on an exciting poultry adventure with the French Cuckoo Marans from Valley Hatchery, a rare treasure from the charming port town of Marans in France. These birds are not just chickens; they’re walking art pieces! Their unique cuckoo pattern of black and white makes them stand out in any flock. The V-shaped bars blend into a marvelous gray, giving them a whimsically mottled look, perfect for playing hide and seek in the garden. But wait, there’s more to these feathery friends than just good looks! They’re like the friendly neighbors of the chicken world, known for their calm and quiet demeanor, making them fantastic for first-time chicken keepers. And talk about egg-citement! These hens are egg-laying champions, gifting you with over 200 large, dark brown eggs each year. Each egg is like a little treasure, varying in shades from 5 to 8 on the Marans egg color chart. Let’s not forget about their impressive size. The roosters strut around at a hefty 8 pounds, while the hens are not far behind at 6.5 pounds. Despite not being on the APA’s A-list, they’re celebrities in their own right, often living a grand life of up to 8 years. Choosing French Cuckoo Marans from Valley Hatchery is like bringing a piece of French elegance right into your backyard. It’s not just buying chickens; it’s adding joy, fun, and a touch of French flair to your family’s life. Get ready to watch these feathered friends turn your coop into a runway of rustic French fashion! Typically, at Valley Hatchery, we pride ourselves on achieving around 90% accuracy in determining the gender of our chicks. However, with French Marans, this task becomes a bit more complex. For this particular breed, we offer a 75% accuracy guarantee in sexing, as identifying their gender at a young age is notably more challenging. This consideration is crucial for anyone planning their flocks’ composition.
