Introducing the French Wheaten Marans, a breed that brings both elegance and productivity to your backyard flock. Hailing from France and recognized by the American Poultry Association in 2011, these chickens are as beloved for their beauty as they are for their egg-laying prowess. Known for producing over 200 large, dark brown eggs each year, French Wheaten Marans are the ideal choice for poultry enthusiasts who appreciate both form and function. Their eggs, renowned for their rich chocolate hue, are a favorite among chefs and food lovers alike, offering a gourmet quality that’s hard to match.
Visually, French Wheaten Marans are a standout in any flock. The hens are adorned with soft, wheaten-colored feathers that create a beautiful contrast with their dark tail feathers, while roosters boast a stunning array of vibrant orange, red, and black plumage. Their feathered shanks, amber eyes, and light, wheaten-colored feathers add to their distinctive charm. But these birds aren’t just about looks—they’re also known for their calm and friendly demeanor, making them a wonderful addition to family farms or backyard coops.
French Wheaten Marans are robust birds that adapt well to a range of climates, making them suitable for both warm and cooler regions. Their easygoing temperament allows them to integrate seamlessly into mixed flocks, and even the roosters are known for getting along well with one another, minimizing issues of aggression. This breed is not only a reliable egg layer but also a great option for those looking to raise chickens with peaceful, sociable personalities.
In terms of egg production, the hens deliver an impressive yield of large, dark brown eggs throughout the year. These eggs start off in deep shades of chocolate, though their color may lighten slightly as the laying season progresses. For backyard chicken keepers who enjoy producing their own eggs, French Wheaten Marans offer both quantity and quality, providing a steady supply of beautifully colored, gourmet-quality eggs.
Roosters generally weigh around 8 pounds, with hens coming in at about 6.5 pounds, making them a substantial but manageable size for any flock. While French Marans are a bit more challenging to sex at a young age compared to other breeds, we offer a 75% accuracy rate in gender determination for those looking to ensure the balance of their flock.
