The Black Copper Marans Rooster is the cornerstone of a dark egg breeding program. Hatched from our dark lines like the eggs pictured and shipped in October 2025, depending on weather, at approximately 18 weeks old. 
 
These are a purebreed and NOT a hybrid. We do not make determinations as to SOP at this age. However, we will not ship a bird with an obvious disqualification including yellow on the shanks or toes, white ear lobes, feathers on the middle or inner toes. We don't usually see these issues anyway.
 
Any roosters that appear to be aggressive or lack the vigor we want to see in our program will be processed. We have no control over how the rooster will integrate into your flock once it leaves our farm.
 
We feed our animals only the best chemical free certified organic feed.

We do NOT guarantee shipped birds. You assume all risk with shipped adult birds. They will be sent USPS Priority Mail Express in an approved shipping box. We will include hydrogel for the trip and check the weather carefully and be sure the bird makes the morning truck but that is the extent of what we can do.
