So, today we purchase five 3 month old cuckoo marans. Four pullets and a cockerel. These little sweeties will lay dark chocolate brown eggs. They are a relatively rare breed that is becoming more and more popular thanks to domestic diva, Martha Stewart. The Marans eggs are the only kind she will use and with Carrie's love of all things Martha, they were a natural addition to our 'herd'. They should be up to full production laying by next spring and promise to be a great addition. By keeping this group isolated from the other birds (with their own range area, of course) we will also be able to provide hatching eggs next season. We'll get some photos up in the next few days.
