The Marans Chicken Club USA’s sole purpose is to actively
promote the breeding of purebred Marans to the French
standard. In February of 2011, the MCC USA was
successful in its Qualifying Meet for the Black Copper
variety at the Chattahoochee Valley Poultry Association’s
annual show in Newnan, GA. In April of 2011, the
American Poultry Association voted to accept the variety and
it was official – thanks to the hard work and dedication of
Marans breeders in the USA - the Black Copper Marans is
officially a recognized breed of the Continental Class by
the American Poultry Association. The Marans Chicken
Club USA will continue to strive for additional variety
acceptance, and will support its members in all their
breeding efforts to fulfill this goal and the goal of
breeding for the darkest egg color possible.

A Marans hen must lay a number four egg or higher for it
to be considered a Marans. As the bird lays, the
egg may lighten, but goes back to being dark after a
rest.
