FRENCH Cuckoo Marans?

[3KillerBs]

What hatcheries still carry FRENCH Cuckoo Marans -- the ones with the feathered feet?

I got 2 from Ideal in 2021 and I like them quite well. But Ideal doesn't carry FCMs anymore, just the clean-legged sort.

I don't want the clean-legged ones and I don't want the other colors, except *maybe* white.

I am pretty sure I'll want to get some next year since my current ladies are going to be 2 years old come May. Where are they still available? (I'd be open to trading hatching eggs with a fellow BYC member).

I got mine from Cackle Hatchery this year.

Cackle Hatchery doesn't have anymore for this season, but that doesn't mean they won't next year. I wouldn't buy from Hoover's Hatchery, though I think they got some.

Yeah, I'd much rather not deal with Hoover's.

Cackle's birds have been very nice!

We have Cackle's black copper, cuckoo, and wheaton French Marans hens, and they have been terrific.
