“My two are beautiful. Trudy is self appointed ‚Äúmama hen‚Äù. She is the same age as her flock, but will not go into the coop for the night until everyone is in. If one tries to stay out, she goes and rounds them up! Dixie is our most outgoing of our flock of 30. She runs up to complete strangers to greet them (sometimes frightening them with how outgoing she is!). They are both beautiful and have amazing personalities!”
“Of my 6 mixed chicks from mpc, Charlotte, the blue splash marans, was the first to lay. I think she's also the most beautiful and definitely the softest. Sweet, friendly temperament. Her eggs are lighter than expected - light to medium brown and no speckles. Love her.”
“Ordered 10 chicks. Ordered a Easter egger frizzle that turned out to not be a frizzle. A little disappointing but I understand why that‚Äôs unpredictable. But these marans are amazing! I‚Äôve had a lot of chickens over the years, but this girl is the sweetest! Sits on my shoulder and leans into my neck. Never have I had a chicken so sweet!”
“I LOVE my marans. My two girls are absolutely beautiful and enjoy being petted. Alice and Myrtle regularly lay dark brown eggs. 10/10 recommend these ladies.”
“For a really colorful basket, I have a completely mixed flock of about 30 hens. So, I have a descent sense of chicken personality. My 5 month old pullet (named "Splash") is the sweetest chicken! Of all the chicks I've raised, Splash is in the most calm and cuddly. She also has very big eyes which makes her look cute. I'm anxious to see how her eggs turn out. I would highly recommend this breed for a child's pet - knows her name, comes to you (versus running away), never pecks, likes to be held and is very soft.”
“I have ordered 5 times from MyPetChicken and these are the first two chicks of theirs I have ever lost. Both the hen and rooster died at about 6 weeks old and had appeared healthy until then. It was strange because the other chicks I ordered from them at the same time are totally fine. Very disappointing, they were beautiful birds.”
“Our Dottie is almost four weeks now, and is seriously the sweetest little thing. Gentle, quiet (she makes the cutest peeps and cooing noises), and absolutely beautiful. She's sitting all smooshed up against my leg taking a nap next to me on my chair as I type. We love her so much!”
