Sexing Note: Most of our breeds we can average 90% accuracy on gender sexing. However, with the French Marans breed it is more difficult for the vent sexor to make this determination, so for this breed our guarantee is 75% accuracy.

Acknowledged color in France for a long time.
The color should resemble a New Hampshire. Do to recent work on egg color, there is some variability in achieving the correct color. Well mannered birds, and hens make great mothers. They will make great additions to your farmstead.
