Pullet: Golden Cuckoo Marans, Shipping Week of

The beautiful feathers of the Golden Cuckoo are crossed throughout with irregular dark and light golden colored bars, similar in some ways to Crele coloration. Egg color with this variety is dark, but not quite as "chocolaty" as the Black Coppers.

Colored eggs are always a more brilliant color early every laying season, and slowly fade as the season progresses. So, the first eggs a pullet ever lays will be her darkest. The "dye" is brand new and abundant! As the eggs get more frequent and larger, they will slightly lighten in color as more of the coloring isused every day and is spread out over a larger egg surface area. In addition, the egg will slightly darken again after your hen has gone through a period of reduced laying or rest, for example after a molt.
