We work hard every day for improve this beautiful type of Marans Wheaten Marans are a type of chicken with a particularity, they lay eggs ranging from light beige to dark chocolate, this is determined by a chart created by the Marans Club in France, their eggshell especially hard protects the eggs of many bacteria, the eggs and the meat of the Marans have a unique flavor,they are able to exceed production of 300 eggs per year starting in a 60 grams .Wheaten Marans are very friendly you'll be surprised how much they enjoy human contact. The Famous Egg the Marans are a dual purpose, heavy breed. This meat type conformation will naturally result in a lower lay rate. To select for heavy egg production, you will lose the heavy type. Some also say that by selecting for the darkest egg color, you are selecting for hens that pass the eggs more slowly through the oviduct resulting in hens with a lower lay rate. The logic being the longer it takes for the egg to pass; the more coats of brown/red color are applied. The brown/red colors are pigments called porphyrins. Porphyrins are derived from hemoglobin in the blood. As you recall from your high school biology, iron is what gives blood its red color. If a Marans egg is exposed to light for a prolonged period of time, the red pigments oxidize and turn dark brown. This is a trick that some less scrupulous breeders use to photograph very dark eggs for sale. Never trust a picture of a Marans egg. Egg photographs are too easily faked or altered. Better to rely on the reputation of a breeder. I’ve also noticed that eggs just don’t photograph well. I’ve photographed our eggs on numerous occasions and the pictures never look as good as the eggs do in person. Marans egg color is a very controversial and often misunderstood topic. Egg color does vary by individual bird, by the time of the year, diet, health and management (free range on green pasture vs. confinement). Generally speaking, hens coming on line in the spring will lay the darkest eggs. Egg color then fades as the laying season progresses into late summer. Then, when she comes back on line after her winter molt and rest, the dark egg color returns and the cycle starts all over again. Egg color can be an even brown, or spotted and stippled with varying shades of brown. Some breeders only hatch out the even brown color. We found that our customers like the uniqueness of the spotted eggs. So, we hatch out both the spotted and even types of dark brown eggs to perpetuate those traits in our bloodlines. It is unrealistic to expect every bird in your flock to lay a dark egg all year long. Egg color does not work like that. Brown egg color is controlled by at least 14 genes and is not well understood. If it were as simple as only hatching the dark eggs, everyone would have a good line within one generation. The French Marans Club has developed an official egg color chart with a 1-9 color scale. The French standard specifies that a hen must lay at least a 4 to be considered a Marans. (this was taked from Backyard Poultry) So, the Marans eggs color is very important but remember, the young hens never lay darkes eggs like the old hens do, They will increase the dark color for the eggs with the time, for us it is very important the very dark color but it is very important to keep a good hatching rate too. that?s why we keep a young hens flock. WE ALSO SELL ONE DAY OLD CHICKENS We just get new chickens from our hens in Oct 5/2014, 8 hatching eggs = 5 pullets 3 males, you could see the date in the news paper We collect the eggs every two hours and ship Monday through Friday, the following day at which you make the purchase.We carefully select the hatching eggs for their size, shape and condition of the shell because an egg too large or too small is less likely to hatch, in the deformed eggs hatching possibilities are remote and in eggs with fractured or broken shell the possibility of hatch are null. We have one Rooster for every three hens We monitor the male-female coupling, but we can not guarantee the birth rate, because external factors such as transportation or incubation process among others, are crucial and play in favor or against the number of hatched chicks. If all goes well, you could have a very high rate, because with my regular incubator I have a birth rate of 98% We can make shipments to all USA included Puerto rico, Hawai, Alaska and the Islands Thank you for your interest
