Cuckoo Maran egg color

[carolinebarnes]

Hi all! I am new to the site and have 22 week old cuckoo marans that I ordered from Murray Mcmurray hatchery in march. Can anyone send me pictures of their cuckoo maran eggs? I am so anxious to see what color their eggs might be. It's easy to find pictures of the black copper maran eggs but not the cuckoo marans for some reason... thanks!!!!

I have no Cuckoo Marans, but they normally lay eggs a little lighter than Black Copper Marans.

Oh, and just a fun fact:


The correct term is "Marans" Wether you are using it as singular or plural.

I have two Cuckoo Marans, sadly they aren't laying yet. From what I've read and seen they lay a dark brown colored egg, this coloration is often referred to as chocolate.



Here is an example!

Thank you so much for responding! They are such sweet birds and I am getting so impatient waiting on them so see the egg color. I know it will come though!

Just wondering what you birds actually look like. Do they look like this?
