This line is bred for dark colors, heavy blooms, and speckles.
Black Copper Marans are prized for their deep, chocolate brown eggs, often with natural speckling and a rich, glossy finish. You will receive a variety of colors from dark to bloom to speckled based on what’s available on your shipping day. We DO send our darkest eggs, always. One of our roosters carries a heavy bloom trait, so you’re guaranteed a chance to having a heavy bloom layer. By purchasing these, you agree that you’ll receive a variation of color. We do not have the darkest color out there, but always try our best to improve our lines.
We strive to breed for SOP in all of our birds to the best of our ability. Marans eggs naturally fade. We try our best to get you the darkest eggs. Black Copper Marans “run out of ink” as they get deeper into the laying season, but they still have the dark laying gene and pass that on to the next generation. Our hens lay in the range of 6-9 on the Marans scale during prime season. They naturally fade as it gets later in the season.
Known for their cold hardiness, Marans do well in cooler climates and maintain a steady laying rate through the seasons. Our line does like to take a break in the warm weather and cooler weather.
Mating and genetics: Our flock is bred to purple bloom rooster from Opry Hill and a rooster from Little Chicken Farms dark line - Belatrix’s daughter. If you know, you know. Belatrix is LCF darkest laying bird, consistently giving 9’s.
Lines and pattern: Our birds originate from lines selected for heavy blooms and dark eggs. Expect chicks to develop into layers that produce a range of browns on the scale.
Conformation and color: Roosters have correct combs, tails and coloring. Some of our girls are over-melanized as we see in correlation with darker laying Marans lines.
Egg size: These are a large fowl breed laying eggs consistently over 62g.
Biosecurity and handling: We are continually working to align our procedures with standard operating practices to ensure the healthiest stock and clean hatching eggs. If you have specific questions about genetics, shipping, or availability, please let us know.
📦 Return & Refund Policy – Hatching Eggs
Due to the nature of hatching eggs, all sales are final. We do not accept returns or offer refunds once your order has been shipped, or after 24 hours from purchase. If you do need to cancel your order within 24 hours of purchase, you’ll be issued a store credit for future use. We guarantee that all eggs are fresh and fertile at the time of shipping. We do not replace or refund broken eggs, please file a claim with USPS. Please remember that just because an egg did not develop during incubation, DOES NOT MEAN it was not fertile. So many factors can play a role in hatch rate and development.
Fertility is regularly monitored from each breeding pen to ensure roosters are actively doing their job. That said, once eggs are handed off to USPS, we are no longer responsible for their handling, delays, or damage. Standard shipping is via USPS Priority Mail (1–3 days) and includes $100 of insurance (shipping fees are not covered under this insurance).
If your package arrives damaged, please:
Take clear photos of the box, packaging, and any broken eggs
Inspect your package immediately upon pickup
File a damage claim with USPS online (damage only, not shipping delays)
Send us pictures and video evidence within 24 hours of arrival
Please remember: Hatching eggs are always a gamble. We cannot guarantee hatch rates or how USPS handles the eggs during transit.
If we are unable to fulfill your order for any reason on our end, you will receive a refund. For any concerns, feel free to contact us via email or Facebook.
