French Splash Copper Marans (Large Fowl) Breed Information

I have a pure Splash Copper cockerel running with Splash Copper hens so the offspring will be 100% Splash and of a very high quality. They are very striking in appearance and will lay very brown eggs.

We are a member of the Marans Club and keep abreast of all the latest news regarding this breed. This helps us maintain our high standards and great show results with this breed. You can also become a member of this club for under £10 per year. By joining you will receive an annual newsletter and year book.
