Cuckoo Marans
If Cuckoo Marans are trendy, then who says so>?
There are a few sites on the web that make this claim and it seems like these chickens would be a likely candidate for being a hip sort of hen. These chickens lay very dark eggs as compared to most other chickens. I recently ordered 24 Cuckoo Marans chicks and will be looking forward to raising them into pullets. In the near future I can see myself selling the rich, dark brownish red eggs at a weekend market or perhaps to local chefs who are concerned about fresh locally produced ingredients.
