Black Copper Marans (BCM) are famous for  their dark reddish brown eggs. These have been a favourite of ours with their beautiful eggs, friendly personality and eye catching colour.

Plum coloured eggs (bottom left egg below) have a heavy bloom, the white coating, over a dark egg and look purple. They occasionally show up in the nesting box.

Some chicks will have black/brown mottled feathers which turn black as they feather into adult plumage. It's possibly from Wheaten Marans being bred into the BCM in a line I brought in.

Temperament:  Active, easy to handle
Bird Size:  Large
Egg Colour:  Dark red/brown
Egg Size:  Extra large - Jumbo
Price:  $18

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dark Olive Eggers These chickens are a cross between very dark egg Black Copper Marans (BCM) and Ameraucana.

It's a fabulous combination that gives a very dark brown egg which is quite different from the reddish, terracotta colour of the pure BCM. These beauties are head turners.

The chickens look like a BCM but may have an Ameraucana comb and yellow legs. 

Temperament:  Active, easy to handle
Bird Size:  Large
Egg Colour:  Dark red/brown
Egg Size:  Extra large - Jumbo
Price:  $18

 

 

F1 Olive Eggers! The chicks will be 50% Black Copper Marans and 50% Wheaten Ameraucana. The offspring are generally black, often have the earmuffs and beard of the Ameraucana and lay beautiful coloured eggs in shades of olive green. A lovely accent to any egg carton.

Temperament:  Active, easy to handle
Bird Size:  Large
Egg Colour:  Olive Green
Egg Size:  Large - Extra Large
Price:  $16

 

 

Swedish Flower Hens are one of our favourite chickens because of their people friendly personalities, the fact they are all different colours and are productive layers.

We had them years ago and are excited to have sourced excellent stock to start with again.

They look even better as they mature as their 'thousand flowers' pattern, each feather tipped in white, increases as they age. 

 

Temperament:  Active, easy to handle
Bird Size:  Large
Egg Colour:  Light brown
Egg Size:  Large
Price:  $18

 

 

Wheaten Ameraucana are one of the prettiest colours of Ameraucana. The rooster is a very different colour than the hen which makes them easy to tell apart at an early age.

This is our first time with them and we're excited to have sourced some excellent stock which produce blue eggs.

Temperament:  Mellow
Bird Size:  Medium
Egg Colour:  Blue
Egg Size:  Large
Price:  $18
