12 + extras dk. brown cuckoo maran hatching eggs
TWELVE PLUS EXTRAS...... CUCKOO MARAN HATCHING EGGS.... MARANS LAY A BROWN EGG THAT ARE MEDIUM TO LARGE IN SIZE. THEY ARE VERY TAME AND MORE LIKE PETS THAN JUST "POULTRY" OUT IN THE BARNYARD. THESE CHICKENS ARE BLACK AND WHITE MUCH LIKE BARRED ROCK, BUT THE EGGS THEY PRODUCE ARE DARKER.
I BOUGHT THESE CHICKENS FROM WELP HATCHERY IN IOWA. THE HATCHERY DID NOT GIVE THE BLOODLINE OF THESE CHICKENS. THEY ARE JUST ADVERTISED AS CUCKOO MARANS. SOME OF THE HENS STARTED LAYING AT 8 MONTHS OLD. THEY ARE NOW 11 MONTHS OLD. THEY WITHSTAND BOTH HEAT AND COLD WEATHER VERY WELL. THEY LIKE TO FORAGE FOR FOOD AND ARE SELF-RELIANT. I HAVE 19 MARAN HENS AND 4 MARAN ROOSTERS.
