Marrans
The very dark coloured egg layers tend not to be quite as prolific as for
example good Rhode Island Reds - but we like to think they are taking more care
over each one and certainly the quality of the egg is superb; they taste
gorgeous and have great structure. They are also capable of laying over 200
eggs a year - the exact numbers will depend on conditions - weather - feeding
etc
