matt_hooks 188 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 We have a couple of Maran hens. We bought them for the brown eggs, adds some interest to a box for sale, but they have grown in to huge birds. They have plenty of meat on breast and leg, look like they'd be pretty good eating. They also lay on average 6 days out of 7, so egg production is pretty good. If I could get hold of a Maran cockerel cheaply I'd be trying to breed them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
