| Maran |
How sad that one of the coolest breeds of chicken isn't recognized by the American Poultry Association! We had to include it on our website anyway. Marans are "chocolate eggers" meaning their eggs are a deep chocolate brown color. If you value a colorful egg basket, Marans are a "must" for your flock! Cukoo Marans are the most popular variety in North America and can be purchased at the major hatcheries.
