Our French Cuckoos are extremely hardy will thrive in almost all climates. They are generally docile and quiet in nature and pretty active. They are good foragers and do well in free ranging system.

They are also tough and disease-resistant. But they can be lazy and get fat very easily if raised in confinement. So it’s best to keep them as free range as possible.

Marans are very friendly and are easy to look after. Neither the cockerels nor the hens are aggressive. Hens are good layers and lay rich chocolate brown coloured eggs. They go broody and hens are great mothers

PLEASE NOTE - All French Silver Cuckoo Maran Chickens are for collection only from Higher Oak Farm by prior arrangement.

Our stock levels are very dependant on mother nature. Please get in touch for upcoming availability or to add your name to a waiting list.
