Have had black ones before and loved them and want to get some more and chicken coop and run - James,
Marrans - Alys,
We've kept normal and minature marans and they all have very unique personalities. They are hilarious and can produce a lot of beautiful eggs every year. We have never had any trouble such as illnesses with them which is always a good sign that they are a hardy breed.
cool - Karen,
I'm glad I choose this docile breed , because its in the back garden and built up area of homes I needed a quiet bird , and I have at last found one , makes no noise very shy . double yolks for now because its just started laying , my eggs are mahogany glossy egg , first started laying small long shape egg , so found two in there , beautiful shell , silk . just so perfectly quiet , my warrens are very vocal . when they want my attention they let me know , all's want treating these do,(warrens)the young maran cuckoo is skittish , when grandkids go near them they are very flappy , crazy if u like , but hopefully as they age they will calm down,bye
- Wayne,
Wonderful birds they are very active and a little flighty. Mine are pullets and they lay beautiful dark brown eggs almost every day. They are very clever birds
Very good friendly chickens - Jeff,
A joy to have and more of a pet than a egg layer
