Marans lay dark brown/reddish eggs and are dual purpose, hardy, mild-mannered birds (both hens and roosters).
My roosters are French Copper, and my hens are French Copper, blue, and splash.
Most chicks are hatching French Copper.
I have 10 available now, straight run, at $3 each and more will be hatching daily.
If you have bought from me in the past, these will have new genetics from prior years.
I have brought in birds from two other flocks to breed with mine.

I don't take pictures of the new chicks that hatch every day but have posted a couple pictures of parent stock to the ad.
When we meet, I can take all available for you to choose from.
Chicks are not vaccinated.
I can meet at the Chehalis Walgreens off I-5 Exit 79.

Baby chicks are delicate.
Please make sure you have a brooder set up before purchasing: https://homesteadandchill.

Reach out if you have a broody hen who needs day-old chicks.
Right now, you would need to be open to whatever chicks hatch in a 2-day window as I have small hatches of a subset of breeds available.
You have to give her brand new chicks for an adoption to be successful.
While 90% of the time, a broody hen will successfully adopt chicks, make sure to have a back-up plan.
Let her be broody for a week or two before you give her chicks, to make sure she is truly committed.

What to do with unwanted roosters when you buy straight run? I usually keep two roosters per breed when possible.
I sell others on craigslist to varied success.
