12 + 2 Black Copper Marans Hatching Eggs (for the color chasers)
Welcome to the dark side—literally.
 
We breed Black Copper Marans for egg color, not for SOP, not for show ribbons, and definitely not for opinions. If it doesn’t lay dark, it doesn’t stay. Period.
Our program is built around one thing: deep, rich, chocolate-to-burgundy eggs.
That means we keep our darkest laying hens and move everything else out of the breeding program. No freeloaders in this coop.
 
Yes—this also means we rotate out older hens, because as they age, their egg color naturally lightens… and let’s be honest, not everyone is emotionally prepared for that conversation. 
 
What you’re getting:
• 12 + 2 fertile Black Copper Marans hatching eggs
• From a program focused heavily on dark egg genetics
• Eggs selected to the best of our ability for depth of color at time of collection
 
What you’re NOT getting:
• A guaranteed shade chart result
• The exact eggs pictured
• Instant gratification
 
Let’s go ahead and say it louder for the people in the back:
The egg you receive is NOT necessarily the egg color that hen will lay.
You can hatch a lighter egg and end up with a hen laying deep chocolate.
You can also do everything right and still need time to develop your line.
This is genetics—not a copy/paste situation.
 
Reality check:
Black Copper Marans start the season laying those deep burgundy, chocolatey eggs everyone loses their minds over…
and yes, that color fades as the season goes on.
The genetics are still there.
The drama just mellows out a bit.
This is a long game. Patience is required.
If you’re here to build, improve, and chase that next-level egg color—you’re in the right place.
If you’re expecting perfection straight out of the incubator… eBay eggs are fully stocked. 
Welcome to the program.
 
Shipping prices are changing faster than a broody hen’s mood, so here’s how we handle it:
Shipping is calculated after purchase. Before anything goes out, I’ll reach out with a full lineup of carrier options, speeds, and prices—think of it like a menu, but instead of dinner, you’re choosing how fast your package gets to your door.
You pick what works best for you.
 
I personally prefer UPS over USPS or FedEx for the best overall experience.
If you choose USPS, your package will be marked “HOLD FOR PICKUP” and include the phone number you provided on your invoice.

This does NOT guarantee the Post Office will call you—you are responsible for contacting them and arranging pickup.
 
This is a curated egg buying experience—not a free-for-all, not a free-for-all with attitude, and definitely not a “click now, panic later” situation.
 
These genetics are limited, intentional, and the result of a very selective breeding program. Because of that, we are limiting sales to individuals who understand genetics, respect the color of the egg doesn't dictate the genetics, respect the process, and can communicate like grown adults.
If you feel a meltdown coming on… go ahead and sit this one out. We wish you emotional peace and store-bought eggs.
 
Remember, genetics aren’t a vending machine—you don’t press a button and get the exact result every time.
