The Cuckoo Maran is a rare breed that adapts well to confinement. Marans are known best for their distinctive chocolate brown egg. They resemble a Barred Plymouth Rock except their bars are not as perfect and their colors are not as distinct. Marans lay the darkest eggs of any breed and are a nice dual-purpose bird. Our Cuckoo Marans are clean legged.
Note: Between April 1st and October 1st, Mt. Healthy Hatcheries has a minimum shipping requirement of 3 birds (instead of the usual 10). If you order 3 chicks to ship outside of April 1st - October 1st, the order may be delayed or shipped with cockerels for warmth, as decided by Mt. Healthy Hatcheries.
Cuckoo Maran produces 200 Dark Brown eggs per year.
