All have beautiful black feathers and copper hackles, and most will have lightly feathered shanks and feet. Black Copper Marans are good layers of a dark brown egg. The eggs will be considerably darker than regular brown eggs such as you might see in a grocery store.
However, their plumage is stunning, with fiery copper hackles against the black feathers. And best of all, this breed is calm and gentle, so they make a wonderful backyard pet.
