[Summer 2025] Purple Copper heavy bloom line Black Copper Marans Pullet

Description

Pullets are females close to the point of lay, born of the same pairings as the chicks we ship all year from our clan mating system for our Purple Coppers line.

Plumage is black copper and we strive to achieve the SOP for Marans; eggs are typically dark at the time of first lay and then fade gradually through the laying year as the amount of pigment that the hen can deposit on each eggs gets depleted over the year. We breed for dark pigmentation and keep bloom and speckles in our pens, and we’re proud of the color we achieve. That said, not all hens from documented dark pigment and heavy bloom pairings will lay as dark as their parents— some do and some don’t!

It’s the luck of the draw— I never know who will give what shade until she actually starts laying.

Shipping:

Note: local pickup is preferred. Please choose local pickup at checkout for $0 shipping fee.

Shipping is expensive on juvenile birds, calculated by USPS Priority Express by weight. One pullet can fit in a special live bird box and I charge $150 flat rate which puts me close to cost. If costs to your location are more I will cover them.

Because one pullet can be shipped per box, please do not order more than 1 pullet per transaction! 😉
