BBS French Copper Maran’s
Our BBS French Copper Marans are carefully bred to reflect the beauty, utility, and traditional characteristics that have made this breed so highly prized among poultry enthusiasts and breeders. Known for their rich plumage and remarkable egg color, these birds produce the deep chocolate-brown eggs that have made Marans famous around the world.
This breeding group produces chicks in the classic Blue, Black, and Splash (BBS) color varieties. Each bird carries the distinctive French Marans traits, including lightly feathered legs, strong bone structure, and elegant copper hackles on roosters that contrast beautifully with the darker body plumage.
French Copper Marans are valued not only for their striking appearance but also for their calm temperament and dependable egg production. Hens lay large, dark brown eggs that stand out in any egg basket and are highly sought after by backyard keepers and serious breeders alike.
Our birds are bred with a focus on type, feather quality, and egg color, producing hardy, vigorous chicks suitable for both breeding programs and premium backyard flocks. Our rooster is not related to the hens, helping maintain strong genetics and diversity within the flock.
As with all BBS breeding groups, chicks may hatch Blue, Black, or Splash, each developing its own unique and beautiful plumage as it matures.
These exceptional birds are a wonderful addition for anyone seeking quality Marans with both beauty and performance. 🐓🥚
