The Black Copper Marans is a dual purpose utility chicken breed originating from Marans, France that is most known for its dark eggs. My line of black copper marans lay mahogany brown eggs with speckles and a red tint in natural light. They are the friendliest standard sized breed I've ever raised and would be a perfect edition to any barnyard.
This line of Black Copper Marans has a wonderful temperament towards humans, being naturally friendly and outgoing without much socialization.
The roosters tend to be friendly and trusting with us while simultaneously being fiercely protective of their flock from natural predators.
We breed with a focus on health/vigor, and egg color with our BCM.
