It doesn’t get better than this: a sex-linked production, dark brown layer! What more could you ask for? A cross between a Black Copper Marans and a Barred Rock, the Noir Marans is a very good layer of rich, dark brown eggs ranging from copper to chocolate in color. These hens are largely black with varying amounts of bronze. This breed produces a combination of both clean and feather legged chicks.

Fun Fact:  The spelling of the French town of Marans is where the Marans breed of chicken originated and gets it name. So, whether singular or plural, it always ends with an “s.”
