MARANS
We chose adding Marans to our high altitude Landrace flock for their cold heartiness, they were bred in Marans France. A brief history from the Marans of America page...... The Origin of Marans: What did this landrace hen, which originated in the swampy farm country near Marans & La Rochelle; look like before being crossed with non-local fowl? We will probably never know. These farmyard fowl had very little selection, and this ‘swamp’ hen didn't really receive any particular care. A link to their page to read it in full.
