My rooster William just started crowing. He's a buff orpington, very beautiful, and great with children. He eats out of our hands and doesn't mind being pet or held. He's looking for a home where he can eat grass and bugs in addition to chicken feed and where he's got some hens for company. William is not for dinner. Or breakfast or lunch, for that matter.​

The Black Copper Marans is one of the rarest breeds of chicken in the United States. It is a fascinating breed of laying chicken; producing one of the darkest chocolate-brown eggs known. It is one of the rarest breeds in this country due to the import ban on fowl in the US. They are quite common in France. Black Copper Marans eggs are prized by French chefs. Using them for eating in the United States is almost unheard of, as they are so rare and prized. A three-egg omlet would cost more than $30; wholesale.



Please place your order my hens is laying, they're happy, free range and organic. $8.00 dozen​

Wow, CA must be different than in Boulder CO. The most people will pay there (which is a hippy organic town) is $5.00 a dozen

Oh that ad has made the craigslist rounds from northern California to southern California. Cracks me up every time. At least this time, they didn't add in the line that marans eggs are the only ones that James Bond will eat or something to that effect.

BTW, out here, people will pay as much as $8/dozen for organic backyard eggs, especially a multicolored dozen. I'm not one of those people, and I do not know those anyone who can afford that much money for a dozen eggs. By and large, though, the average price for fresh backyard/free-range eggs is $3 to $4 a dozen (more for the multicolored packs and/or larger eggs) and about $5-10 a dozen for fertile "backyard mix" (i.e., buncha mutts) hatching eggs.

We are just now getting enough eggs to sell, and we are selling ours for $3/dozen.
