This line was established from birds selected by prominent breeders throughout the US and is still a project in the works. Hatchery started this project in 2016 along with some bloodlines from Bill Grover. The hens are capable of laying eggs as dark as any other Marans. Selection should reflect a balance of type, egg color, as well as the chestnut feather color of the New Hampshire. The French Standard suggests the variety should, “correspond to those of the New Hampshire breed in color”.
