We are offering our Black and Blue Copper Marans this spring.
We have selected our breeding stock from 5 separate small breeders across Canada. We have noticed that two of our lines seem to really compliment each other and may combine these two lines toward the end of this year when we can really assess our grow outs from this combination. We are working toward our 6 main goals with our line of Marans, we are very selective with our flock and are finally confident enough with our flock’s performance to meet the American Standard that we will be showing our Black Copper Marans line this fall.

Our Marans eggs on average are 65-75 grams and are currently a #4 - #7 on the MCCUSA shade card and are group A and B for roundness. Though we love the dark eggs, it is not all about the eggs. We select for overall health and vigour of the bird and are slowly working toward darker eggs within our flock. It takes years of hatching and selective breeding to achieve a well-balanced healthy bird that lays those dreamy dark russet-coloured eggs.
We only hatch out our roundest and darkest eggs here on the homestead.
Egg shades will vary depending on the time of year as Marans lay a lighter shade later in the season.

We are active members of the APA and both the Marans Club USA and Marans Chicken Club. We only breed to the APA standard of perfection.

Please Visit our website for more information regarding our Marans and the 2025 season.

We offer pickup (meet in South River), and we ship hatching eggs Canada wide in custom made foam.
