We also raise Marans Chickens. Our main focus is on our Black Copper, Silver Birchen, Wheaten and Golden Salmon. We strive to develop and produce Marans that mirror the French Standard Marans with the darkest of egg color.
All our Marans have feathered shanks and correct confirmation. Our stock consist of Wade Jeane, Mari Krebs, Dave Williams. We just hatched our first Black Copper chicks this past week! They are beautiful!
We are Scott & Debbie Thomsen from rural Iowa. We started our exotic gamebird and poultry farm several years ago. We have thoroughly enjoyed the many phases of raising and breeding beautiful pheasants, Sebastopol Geese, Marans chickens and Blue India Peacocks. We free range all our birds except our pheasants. We carefully hand picked all of our breeders from very reputable breeders.
Scott has spent endless hours building beautiful aviaries and runs for the birds. Together, we work very hard to keep everyone safe and healthy.
One of our most exciting hatches these past years (2009) was a clutch of 4 beautiful Temminck's Tragopans. Our hen hatched 3 hens and 1 rooster. They are growing beautifully and of course are perfectly marked. This is our hen’s first hatch. At this time, we have 3 pairs of Temminck's Tragopan hens laying. Check back for chicks later this fall. So far we have 9 Temminck's chicks for 2011!
