    Having hatched some black french marans recently, from a number if different breeder, i would say they are one of the hardest breeds that i have bred to find the correct standard. A beautiful but difficult breed to get right especially when you add in egg color and shank feathering.

    Also what does initial egg size say about the chicken? I thought they usually start small and gradually get bigger? Im new to this breed so more information is always great. Thank you!

    It's too early to tell. But does the 1st one have a few white feathers? Correct me experts if I'm wrong but splash or no splash that's not good coloring

    I am like you, trying to learn about the breed. He does have copper leakage which makes him a cull for most breeders. I like your harness!;)

    Congrats lol! Sometimes you are actually shocked when you hatch what you actually paid for!! Shes laid 3 eggs in 4 days which is much better than i thought for marans. She actually has started laying before my orpingtons of the same age. I guess the inly way to check the genes is to breed...
