ordering from Murray McMurray. What are your experiences?

[animallover505]

Folks who've ordered Marans from Murray McMurray: how dark are your eggs? I've got 6 cuckoos arriving in a few days, and wonder if the eggs will be notably darker than the RIRs and black Australorps in the coop.

Cuckoo Marans lay dark chocolate eggs so yes they will be darker

Thanks 03. I know as a breed the eggs are darker, but have heard that MMMs cockoo marans' eggs are really light. As in, same color as RIR. Just wondered if any body who posted above had personal eggsperience to share

Thanks for the info, Runawaylobster! My end goal is to have a varied flock of breeds that provide eggs of all colors. Next year will add some EE and Black Copper Marans hens, I hope! And a white egg layer too, I guess!

Mine are on the way too! I ordered 6 RIRs, 6 black australorps, and 5 cuckoo marans. The rest of the batch, dominiques, are going to a friend, but I might nab a few from him. And then there's the mystery chick! Wonder what will arrive! And when!!!
This is my first mail order, and I'm worried about the chicks. We'll see...
Hope yours arrive safe and sound!
