How much do these Marans sell for? I was looking at some and they were pretty expensive, is that typical? What do you sell yours for?
Thanks!

Fowl seeded: I bought my French black copper head Maran pullets for $10 each. The younger ones were selling for $5 each.
I bought them locally.

Okay, thanks. These chicks were going for $10 ea!

I don't think she is splash.....her leg color is wrong. splash birds typically have white legs like cuckoo's. she may just be a very light blue.

I bought my original Marans for $50 for 12 chicks about 3 weeks old. pullets (very young) go for $10 and go up with age. someone told me the other daybshe could not find pullets/hens for under $30 each thatvseemed high to me. $25 for layers seems the norm here.

BCM chicks around here go for 8 to 10 each. Started pullets go for around 25.00 unless they are hatchery birds. Hatchery BCM go for much less.
