Description
The French Cuckoo Marans are one of the most versatile and most physically attractive types of Marans chickens. With feathered legs and striking speckled plumage, this bird is great for outdoor free-range flocks in cold climates as well as show-quality flocks. Like other Marans, this breed is especially rare in the United States. This breed produces a decent amount of dark brown or speckled eggs and also obtains a large size at a fast rate, so they can be a great addition to egg-laying, meat-production or dual-purpose flocks. Our French Cuckoo Marans flock is small, therefore quantities are limited. Order yours right away before they are sold out! Our cackle flock lays egg shell colors of 5-8 on the French Marans Egg color chart found in the gallery.
Many people who like this breed of chicken also like the American production version of the breed Cuckoo Marans.
Also may like Dark Brown Egg Female Surplus or French Marans Pullet Surplus.
Sexing Note: Most of our breeds we can average 90% accuracy on gender sexing. However, with the French Marans breed it is more difficult for the vent sexor to make this determination, so for this breed our guarantee is 75% accuracy.

I placed 5 orders through cackle this 2024 season. I have never had a dead chick on arrival from cackle! 100 birds or more! Awesome! Zero trouble with shipping as well! I received 6 French cuckoos. 3 roosters are calm very easy to be around my kids run around the yard in and out of the coop and have no issues with them at all! Great roosters for kids!
Will be ordering more fcm next spring for sure

I purchased the French cuckoo as chicks, They are now laying beautiful eggs! Out of the 15 chicks I did wind up with one rooster he is very Docile and gets along well with the other rooster. They are beautiful birds. I am very pleased and would order again!

Love these eggs
I purchased the FCM chicks because I love the dark red and brown colors of the eggs. They are so beautiful. The chicks were healthy and as hens are easy keepers. Very satisfied!!

Nice birds.
Ordered 3 females, but got 2 females and one male. That is the roll of the dice. The females starting laying at 5 months of age. The rooster is easy going and gets along fine playing second fiddle to a more aggressive black copper maran rooster.

Awesome Surprize
We got a beautiful big roo in our surprize box last year! What a handsome guy he has turned into! Now I am ordering him specifically some girls! He’s very mellow and easy to handle and work around (He free ranges here with the rest of our mixed breeds flock atm.)
