The French Black Copper Maran lays the darkest egg of all chicken breeds. Until a few years ago this breed was difficult to find and a breeding pair would go for hundreds of dollars. The dark eggs are prized by French chefs because of the deep orange yolks and rich flavor.
The hens usually lay 2-6 eggs in their 2nd - 3rd year, hiding the true nest in the woods in leaves or just plain dirt, but first laying eggs right in the open. She may lay several eggs, decoys, which just sit around, until she gets serious about it and lays a clutch or group and sits on them.
