That’s a great tip! I’ve been thinking about trying it. I just want to ensure they remain as productive as possible, especially with winter coming. Anyone have any coping strategies for the cold?
I’ve absolutely fallen in love with my French Black Maran chickens! Their meat is so juicy and flavorful, perfect for roasting. Has anyone tried making coq au vin with them?
I totally agree! The depth of flavor is amazing. I made a rich chicken broth with mine, and the flavor was out of this world!
The eggs are just as exciting! The beautiful dark brown color adds elegance to any dish. Have you tried using them in a quiche? Makes it gourmet!
Yes, I’ve noticed the color varies a bit! Sometimes they are almost speckled. Is that typical for them?
It’s fairly normal for their eggs to vary in shade! It’s one of the unique traits that chefs love. They really pop in egg-based dishes.

I’ve made a frittata using their eggs, and I swear I could taste the richness. Once you try it, you won’t want to go back to regular eggs! Anyone else feel the same?
Absolutely! And I’ve noticed my French Black Maran eggs hold their shape well when whipped. Perfect for soufflés or meringues!
It’s great to see everyone enjoying these unique chickens! I’m a bit curious, anyone think they could be bred for even better cooking qualities?
I’d be cautious about that. Their current qualities are already top-notch! Sometimes it’s best to leave nature as it is.
You know, I enjoy the whole process of caring for them as much as cooking. They have such personalities! Makes it all the more enjoyable when it hits the dinner table. Anyone else feel that way?
