There is a breeder in Corvallis of Black Copper Marans and I think Barnvelders. His name is Andy, user name on here is Mountainvieworchards. Might be worth trying to get ahold of him for chicks. I know his Marans are nice quality, I would not expect the chicks to be cheap but you could pick them up and save on the shipping and the stress for the babies. I may have BCM Marans chicks available later in the season, test mating right now to make sure I am not adding to the problems this breed already has, things are looking good
Well let me know
