Baby Chicks: Blue Splash Marans Female Reviews

4.7 Rating 208 Reviews
My first order ever of day old chicks came with 1 of these. Although they do get pasty butt regularly when young (i think it’s down to the way they swallow huge chunks of food) keep them clean and they grow up to be thee most beautiful sweetest of all your chickens. My little Snow has a crazy appetite, last chicken to still be around the food, largest of the group it’s almost like she’s on steroids lol. Very independent and has kind of a childish mentality compared to the other breeds, like a spoilt baby. Absolutely magnificent. Originally had 1 lonely cooper Maran and although she was never hand raised like my new batch, she has this same temperament. l would defo suggest adding this breed to your collection.

I have been ordering from MPC for the past five years and have to say these are the sweetest chicks ever! Right now the two chicks are nine weeks old and are the friendliest, gentle and loving chicks yet that I have owned. I have a mixed flock with many breeds, varying from heritage to the standard types and right now, I have 16 chickens and three goslings all from MPC. Again, I can not express on how friendly and beautiful these chicks are and looking forward to their chocolate colored eggs too!

They are doing well. I am a little disappointed in the breed they wont make friends with me. From the start they would scream when picked up and still do. Looking forward in eggs.

I received our Blue Swedish duck in perfect health. She really is the cutest thing and growing fast at 5weeks old!

My ducks came healthy and happy, but when I had called for some advice the customer service person had no answers for me nor offered to transfer me to someone who did. I expected more from MPC. My chick order was a disaster with 6 out of 15 deaths within 2 weeks, I chose MPC because they almost guarantee females and I love the selections of bird varieties. But I would not order again due to the stress of travel to the little ones. Nor any heads up that the bantams could be more fragile. Every bantam died.

We have 4 blue splash Marans. These are the friendliest members of our mixed breed flock. They are reliable layers of beautiful chocolate colored eggs.I highly recommend this breed. They are also the softest chickens we have.

We have two Blue Splash Marans in our 22 bird flock, all ordered from MyPetChichen. Like other reviewer, they are easily our favorites! They are super friendly, curious, and one even comes running over when called. Ours are on the quiet side, or are at least less noisy than the others. Very cool birds...I highly recommend.

We have two Blue Splash Marans hens from MyPetChicken and they are two of our favorites. They have lots of personality and are usually the first in line for treats. The above paragraph describes them as being 'quiet' which I have to disagree with - our Blue Splash hens are more talkative than any other breed we have and are always cackling/calling out to the others.
