French Copper Marans
Hatched and brooded here in Danville from our own breeding pen. Our pen is blue-based, so chicks come out a mix of blue, black, and splash — roughly 25% black, 50% blue, 25% splash. Feathered shanks, copper hackles, and the calm temperament the French birds are known for. Ours will sit on your lap.
Chicks — Straight Run
Blue, black, or splash, depending on what the pen gives us that hatch. Brooded in a protected run on medicated crumbles for their first 6–8 weeks, then out on 20% flock raiser — dry and fermented, with grit, bugs, and greens.
$10 each — or 6 for $50
Hatching Eggs
Fertilized, from the same blue-based pen. Collected daily, stored point-down, never washed, and set within a week. Rich reddish-brown Marans color. We add a few extras to every dozen.
$40 / dozen
Health: our chicks are not vaccinated for Marek’s — worth knowing if you’re adding to a vaccinated flock. They’re on medicated starter for coccidiosis until they outgrow it. Small closed flock, no mites or lice, and we have never lost a bird to illness.
