GOLDEN CUCKOO MARAN
Named after the town Marans, France where they originated. Calm friendly chickens that can be easily trained. Marans tend to lay eggs in colors of brown, dark brown, chocolate, and some with speckles. They can have feathered or clean legs and feet. They all love to forage.
PLEASE NOTE: While they do not have the auto-sexing ability, they can easily be sexed within a few weeks as females have darker feathers than the males. Their cukoo feather pattern of golden colors do not come in until about 20 weeks of age. Egg Colors are from Caramel to Chocolate and Speckled. They are usually feathered legged, but some breeders produce clean legged also. The splash color may not breed true in their offspring.
