I have some black copper marans and cuckoo marans from Meyer Hatchery. I've seen some pretty dark eggs online, but i'm happy with the shade my girls lay. The two dark eggs are marans eggs.
Thank you! The picture of my Dominique,Agnes, was chosen by Meyer Hatchery for this years calendar, the month of September. I was so proud, I've never won anything before.
If it helps at all, i've ordered many chickens from them (5 times now,but about to order more) I have never lost a chick,ever. They've always shown up perfectly healthy,full of energy,and ready to eat and drink. Even last year in January,and I live in Michigan. They've never gotten a breed...
I've only ever ordered from Meyer. I've even started hatching my own from the ones I've gotten from them.
