What color eggs does a Coco Espresso lay, and how many a year?

Coco Espresso hens lay about 230 to 270 dark chocolate brown eggs a year. The color is a true chocolate without the red undertones you see in many brown eggs. People often search for it as Coco Express, Cocoa Espresso, or Coco Expresso.

When do Coco Espresso hens start laying?

They mature at about 22 weeks and usually start laying soon after.

Can I order only hens, or will I get roosters?

Your choice. Order Female for hens only, Male for roosters, or Straight Run for chicks boxed as hatched, which usually means a mix. Our sexing is guaranteed 90% accurate. You don't need a rooster for eggs, and one rooster for every 6 to 10 hens is plenty if you want fertile eggs.

Is the Coco Espresso cold hardy, and what is its temperament?

Coco Espressos are hardy in most climates and adapt well to cold. They are calm, easy to handle, and make good pets.

Do you ship Coco Espresso chicks?

Yes. We ship by USPS to every state except Hawaii, and you pick your ship week in the cart from the weeks we are hatching this breed. Order minimums change by season, and your cart shows the current minimum before checkout. Every order is covered by our 100% Live Arrival Guarantee. If they don't arrive alive, call us within 48 hours and we will make it right. Count your chicks when you get them home.

What is the difference between a Coco Espresso and a Mystic Maran?

Both lay dark chocolate eggs. The Coco Espresso comes from a Black Copper Maran rooster over a Rhode Island Red hen and lays a few more eggs a year. The Mystic Maran is a Black Copper Maran and Barred Rock cross with an extra large egg and mostly feathered feet.
