10 years ago my granddaughter hatched and gave me a golden cuckoo maran chick. This chick was the only chick that hatched, and was raised by my grandchildren in the house. She ate yogurt, scrambled eggs, crackers and everything kids ate, but not much chick feed... We could tell early on she had...
My marans are friendly and calm.Hatched in my house and picked up every day.This breed at dark chocolate brown eggs with a rich orange yolk.They make great meat birds..but I can't eat them after I name them!
I am a small backyard breeder with wheaten, blue wheaten splash, white, blue copper and golden cuckoo marans.I would enjoy chatting with other Maran breeders. My winter flock is 13 birds due to my fall "down sizing".
