Our farm focuses on breeding Black Cooper and Blue Marans Chickens

It was love at first sight with this egg color. Can you imagine a dark, dark, and once again dark chocolate-colored egg? It’s simply breathtaking to see such beauty.

Afterward, it took us some time to find the right breeder. We decided to select Black Cooper and Blue colors ensuring that we would hatch only blue, black, and splash chicks.

We fall more in love with them each day. This breed is definitely one of the best recommendations for your homestead flock.
