Please note - If you are collecting outside shop opening hours please add our purpose made transport boxes to your basket as hens will be boxed up and placed in the Click & Collect building (3 medium hens can be fitted in one box @ £2.95 each).
Pure Breeds - We only tend to sell pure breeds in pairs (or with other pure breeds of a similar age) unless there are exceptional circumstances as they are very prone to being bullied. Pure breeds are slower growing and at this age wouldn't be suitable to mix with hybrids or older birds but would need to be kept separate and very slowly introduced when older. They will require a grower feed until around 20/25+ weeks old.
Marans originate from the Marans area of France (which is why the 's' is always pronounced, even for a single hen!)
They are usually docile hens and are renowned for their dark brown eggs.
They are available in a number of colours - we very occcasionally have Cuckoo (Barred) but we hatch French Wheatens here so often have chicks and growers and sometimes adults available.
