This may seem like a foolish question, but I'll ask anyways. What color of eggs do Marans lay? I think I heard some lay dark brown and others lay another color? I might be getting them mixed up with Olive Eggers.

BLC pullet one year old today .biggest one in my farm . correct body type and head . she doesn t have much copper .but that is not important to me because she is sired by Black Mamba { Solid Black split copper } her mother is Dalakhania . my older dark egg layer .
she is actually bigger than her Dam .
I have many different cockerels to breed her too .
name her BabyKhania .
