Best French Black Copper Maran breeders/farms

[twitterpated]

I was thinking of possibly getting some quality French Black Copper Marans at some point but am looking for a line that will produce a good quality colored egg. I don’t trust to order from hatcheries as many say they don’t lay a true colored egg, so with that being the case who has chicks for sale and can ship? I’ve seen a few farms pop up on google search but figured y’all would know best and could possibly point me in the right direction for whenever if I decide to go this route.

You can check out NPIP breeders and hatcheries - maybe one is near to you. Maybe one is a cost-effective source for eggs or chicks.

They use stock codes for types (listed on left side of above link). Here are the codes for Marans:

Thanks for the link! It took me a little bit to figure it out but unfortunately there isn’t anything close. Just my luck I suppose.

I sell Blue/Black/Splash copper Marans. And FYI, the word "French" doesn't need to be added as all American Marans and French Marans have the same standard.
