Please help with breed pronounciation!

[aussieheelr]

I was always under the belief that Marans is spelled as such for both single and multiple birds. Also it is pronounced Ma-ran with the "s" silent for both single and multiple birds.

Quote:
French does pluralize with an "s", and doesn't pronounce it, but that turns out to be beside the point. You are 100% right about it always being spelt Marans, I learned something today! The place in France is Marans (silent "s") as well. Here's the French wikipedia page, which I found when I went to fact check:

Poule de Marans

To quote Wikipedia,

Marans est le nom d'une race de poule domestique issue de la petite ville de Marans au bord du Marais Poitevin.

"Marans is the name of a breed of domestic fowl from the small town of Marans, bordering on the marshes in Poitou province".
