French Black Copper Marans: Our FBC Marans have taken years to get where they are today. Lots of people sell Marans eggs lately but few actually throw a good dark color egg in the next generation. One thing to keep in mind is that they lay their darkest eggs when they are younger and at the beginning of the laying season. All Marans will not lay the same shade of darkness and they will not stay quite so dark through the year. After a break from laying in the winter, the colors are typically back to darker when they start laying again in spring.

Olive Eggers: This breed has a wide range of possible colors and traits, in fact there are no set standards. They typically lay any shade of green egg but they can also occasionally give you a hen that lays a brown egg since the brown egg gene had to be included in the breeding at some point to get the “olive” color that comes from crossing a brown and blue layer. The more generations crossed back to a dark brown breeds the darker shades of green you can get. It’s taken years of crossing back and forth to get our current variety of colors.
