French Black Marans are heritage, dual-purpose chickens. The Marans breed originates from a town called Marans, France. It’s a very winter-hardy breed with a docile temperament. They are growing increasingly popular as many claim they lay the darkest eggs of all Marans varieties. They are shiny greenish-black in plumage from head to toe, with dark slate legs and black beaks. Most French Marans have feathered legs. The eggs at the beginning of the laying season are usually the darkest, and they get lighter as the season goes on. French Marans tend to be very healthy and are resistant to most diseases. French Black Marans Chickens are friendly and make great yard birds that love to free range. Adding these to your flock will also add beautiful dark brown eggs to your egg basket.
