Black Copper Marans Chicks
These are straight-run chicks that will come from my darkest Black Copper Marans eggs. Please look at ALL the pictues. I can ship up to 24 chicks in a USPS approved chick shipping box.
We are now only shipping chicks between April and September with a minimum of 6 (six) chicks. All other months the minimum will move to 14 chicks. They will ship in the order they are recieved. A minimum of 4 chicks for pick-up.
Edited to add this disclaimer since so many people are unfamiliar with the breed. I do not guarantee the egg color off the offspring. Marans are a wild card. You may get some dark eggs and you may get some duds and everything in between. The genetic variables of this breed cannot be controlled as to what the hens will lay. Just because you hatch 12 eggs that are 7's, 8's or even 9's and you have 12 hens, it doesn't mean that all 12 of those hens will lay 7's, 8's or even 9's. You can have 3 sisters and one will lay a 9, one will lay a 5 and one will lay a heavy bloom. There is no control over what their genetics determine. It is up to you to decide what you are breeding for and cull as necessary.
These chicks will be shipped via USPS Express mail in a USPS approved chick shipping box with grower gel or fresh fruit. Please ADD the Chick Shipping ADD-ON before you check out. You can purchase heat packs here.

ABOUT OUR BIRDS
Our birds are hand raised and handled daily. They are pasture raised and supplemented with a non-GMO, six-way scratch feed, non-GMO Grower Feed, and non-GMO layer feed by Nature Crest. Additionally, they get Cluckin Good Herbs from Scratch-N-Peck, organic sesame seeds, organic flax seeds, kelp, mealworms, black soldier flies, and table scraps. They roam our pastures 24/7/365 and live out in the fresh mountain air and sunshine. They are never sick, never have parasites, and are very hearty, healthy birds. We maintain a very small flock.
