Cuckoo Marans are uniquely bred to produce extremely dark brown eggs with a reddish tinge. All feathers of Cuckoo Marans are crossed throughout with irregular dark and light slate bars. They appear to look much like Barred Plymouth Rocks, but the bars are not nearly as perfect and the difference between the black and white bars is not as distinct. Because of these differences, the variety is known as cuckoo rather than barred.
