Marans chickens originated in the village of Marans, France, which is a port town on the Bay of Biscay. Through the centuries, trade ships brought with them new breeds of chickens which were then bred with the local poultry, resulting in the varieties of Marans chickens we have today.

Splash Marans are a fun twist on your favorite chocolate layer. These beautiful birds are broad, stand tall and sport a mostly white plumage with splashes of blue. They are fair layers of medium-large eggs ranging in color from caramel to chocolate. Splash Marans are an active feather-legged breed that loves to forage.
