Cuckoo Marans - 3 hens and a cock, all looking a bit sulky out in the rain.
Looking a bit traumatised after sitting in the boot for an hour...
Marans are said to be very hardy, disease resistant, placid, and suited to wet conditions. They lay about 200 dark brown eggs a year, and hopefully will go broody from time to time, or my efforts with chicken coop mk.2 will be wasted! Meant to taste damn good as well.
The ladies settling in, which took literally 3 seconds!
