Breed Information, Comments, and Experience with breed:

Cuckoo Marans are layers of Dark Brown or speckled eggs. They lay well about 5-7 eggs a week. All but one of my marans went broody, they are good broodies and attentive mothers. Your marans may lay lighter or speckled eggs when she first starts laying, but will work up to the beautiful chocolate brown eggs! They do not show well often will have wrong leg color, folded combs, and not right cuckoo pattern. But they are very friendly and love to free-range. Overall Marans are a good layer,and friendly.
