Lola (Columbian Wyandotte) & a Black Copper Marans hen, dust bathing in the mulch. My Black Copper Marans hens lay the dark brown eggs in the photo below. My Olive Eggers lay the green eggs, the Ameraucanas lay the blue eggs.

Blaze, my Black Copper Marans rooster, earlier this week. He is under-the-weather currently. :(
Most of the hens are working hard, producing an average of 18 eggs a day.
Several hens are  broody and must be broken up in order to get them back to egg-laying.

Love the photos of the Marans! I have 16 (a new flock) and not many farms/people have them in my area!

Kathy,
I have a question about Black Copper Marans'. I notice Blaze has red/orange eyes while all my Black Copper Hens and roosters have olive green ones. Is there a standard and correct color for the eyes of Black Copper Marans?
