French White Marans

Sweet BirdsThese are among the sweetest and friendliest birds we’ve ever had! Ordered 6 SR White Marans in April 2020 and received one extra. Turned out 5 F and 2 M. We lost one F, the others were healthy and easy. They've grown into two handsome roos, three nice pullets, and one quite small pullet. They’re not especially exciting to look at, but they’re pretty and have a gentle personality. Update: One year later, these are still my sweetest hens, one or two will always jump up on my lap or even my shoulder when I visit. We keep a forage flock that free ranges and an egg flock who mostly stay in a large run. The White Marans will stay safely in the egg flock in the run, we think they're too docile to survive in free range only. The eggs are a beautiful, very dark brown, usually I'm seeing 3 - 5 on the Marans egg color chart. Hens are dependable layers, although they did seem to take a little longer to start laying than others. Overall, the White Marans have been a lovely surprise and keepers for sure. Highly recommend!

White MaransI ordered ten straight run. My entire order arrived alive. Two of the white Marans arrived with crooked legs and toes. They were completely crippled and unable to walk. One has died and the other doesn't look too promising. Overall not the quality I was hoping for. All the other chicks seem to be doing well so far.
