The end of the chase? I have been chasing rainbow eggs for over a decade... These dark beauties are from the second and third generations of experimental lines of blue copper marans. Tapping out.... As I am done... I am just going to say out of all the years these are probably the darkest eggs I have ever encountered... And to have created them from my own genetics- is an unreal feeling... Marans are probably the most difficult of all my breeds- this is due to the amount of genes responsible for

Megg ran out of ink! 👀😹 Here’s what happened: Most chickens eggs don’t drastically change color like this (though they can slowly fade/change with age over many years). That’s because for most breeds, the color of the egg is actually part of the shell itself. However, Marans chickens are different. (Megg is a blue copper Marans.) Instead, they lay down a dark brown pigment on top of the eggshell right as it’s being laid. That means Marans eggs can change color more easily, depending on how muc

Our Black Copper Marans that we ordered from Meyer Hatchery last July has started laying! Her eggs are so pretty! She is a tiny thing. It’s surprising how small she still is, but she’s so sweet and we love her! #homesteading #marans #backyardchickens #chickens #meyerhatchery
