Wow! Those are some pretty eggs Jean!

Miguel - which chicken lays those chocolate brown eggs? Never seen such a dark color!

I also have araucanas, and my araucana pullets just started laying some nice blue-green eggies!!

The dark brown eggs are from Marans . I imported eggs from a portuguese breeder who lives in France , he go to show contests and he wan sometimes with his hens Noir Cuivré .
Marans Noir Cuivré variety are the best to lay dark eggs . My chickens are french lines with feather on legs as they should have .
Marans meat are one of the finnest , in France they have dish contests with different french chicken breeds and sometimes Marans win .

\"Moderator: please forgive my mentioning other breeds on this forum, have no fear I promote the Ameraucanas in my internet travels as well.\"

Marans Noir Cuivré translates as Black Copper Marans and my name is on a couple dozen eggs from a recent France to US importation. The French call this variety Brown-Red.

This variety is known for laying the darkest of the dark.

Please feel free to contact me, any of the officers, or other members of the board of the American Marans Club as listed on the website www.americanmaransclub.com

Here are a few eggs from pullets that I collected a couple of months ago, along with the beautiful plates awarded by the ABC at the 06 National Meet.

Beautiful pic Barb. Nice job. And congratulations on your national meet wins. I would encourage ALL our members to come to the annual national Ameraucana meet and compete with the very best. It is the only true way to measure the progress being made in your Ameraucana flocks. This year, 2007, the national will be held in Great Falls, Montana, the first weekend of October.

May I recommend putting something in the frame of known colors so that viewers can estimate the \"real\" color, such as several crayons in primary colors? Notice how we can see Barbara\'s lovely blue color so well because we can gauge it from the other colors in the plates.

I\'d like to reccomend something I have used. It can end the frustration of determining if an egg is more green-blue or more blue-green. I use a color wheel such as artists use. These can be found in craft/arts departments or stores. Dawn

Hi, I\'m new on the forum here. I had inherited a feed-store acquired flock last year that had two ameraucana/ EE type hens that lay good sized pale green eggs. Is the breed standard specific to blue eggs? Is the intensity of hue directly inherited (ie: would chicks hatched out of deeply coloured eggs also lay similarly coloured eggs?) I currently have a Marans rooster. Is there any way to predict what colour egg a Marans- EE/ Ameraucana hen would lay? (I\'m guessing an icky olive colour....) I\'m sorry if my questions are things you have heard 101 times. I\'m really enjoying my new-found avian hobby. Oh, another question: Do the Aracaunas lay a smaller egg than the Ameraucanas?

Thank you so much!

Hi, Miguel. Your Marans eggs are lovely! I tried to view your website, however it said the bandwidth was exceeded. Do you sell fertile eggs or chicks? Also, which of the eggs are Brakel and Sussex?

I actually have made the Maran x black Ameraucana cross to see if I could darken the egg shell color of the Ameraucana. Not much to report . . . just an olive drab egg shell that is not much different from other crosses I have made.
