I do not believe anyone here in the US is having a successful time breeding just the black Marans. In France they are more popular but here there aren't any true blacks.
I have roosters and hens that look black but I know they will molt off with some copper eventually or will at least produce coppers.
 
thanks ill try contacting onthespot i found that bev davis has some too and shes right here in florida lol
 
There are some in the US, but they are few and far between. And those that are here tend to not have very dark eggs, from what I have heard.

I saw some for sale just a coupla weeks ago. I saw them in person, and bought some other Marans (different varieties) from the same seller. But the black ones he had were purchased by Dick Dickerson, I think.
