Hello,
i have the same problem here in Germany. The breeders of Marans for show have no good quality with the egg colour.
Thats the reason why i take some young chickens from a Selctioncenter of Marans in France. After the Marans in black-silver are laying eggs now, I`m happy about the nice colours of the eggs.
Now the black-copper hens are also starting laying and I will look forward for the colour.
