French Cuckoo Marans Chicks

The French Cuckoo Marans may be considered a rarer breed in the US but we do maintain heavy production of this amazing breed, unlike many other hatcheries. This bird is known for being calm and friendly as well as relatively quiet compared to most other breeds. They make ideal chickens for beginners and do best in mild climates. These hens will lay an average of 200 or more large dark brown eggs annually. The French Cuckoo Marans breeding flock lays between a five and eight shade on the Marans egg color chart found in the photos. The roosters will reach an average of 8 pounds when fully matured and the hens will average in at 6.5 pounds. French Cuckoo Marans are not an APA-recognized breed. The average lifespan of these beautiful birds is roughly 8 years. Buying chicks online shouldn’t be stressful and should be a fun experience for the whole family.
