Listen as Linda shares all about our Bird of the Month - Marans!

The Marans is a favorite chicken breed among backyard poultry keepers, and Meyer Hatchery offers eight color variations, including both popular favorites and rare options. Named after Marans, France, these docile and easily trainable birds are hardy in all climates, making them stellar pets, egg layers, or an excellent dual-purpose option. They consistently lay 150-200 large brown eggs per year, ranging from the darkest in the Black Copper Marans to lighter brown shades and even speckled varieties.
