Welcome to the new look to the Marans of America Club.  We may look at little different but we still have the same standards. French Standards that is. Maybe as any other product  it's  new and improved with a new package.
 
We have decided to come out of the chick stages look we were in when we first presented ourselves to the public and hopefully present ourselves in a more mature and professional look  of today.  With the new look we are able to offer more content and are not so limited to space. Please note that we may not be completely  finished with it but as the days go by we will get all the old sites material uploaded and  some newer content as well. We hope that it is also more user friendly to everyone


More about the club. We have grown from the support of over 100 members. This club was a leap of faith  by me in November 2008.  At the time the club was presented, there wasn't a  Marans Club active and I felt a need for one.  And it couldn't be such a club as it is today without the support of it's members and sponsors who took the leap of faith with me.
 
I also want to thank the Marans Club de France for officially  adopting Marans of America Club as it's represented  club for the USA.
I also want to personally thank all the writers whom contributed to the club's content.
 
Marans of America members are becoming more active and are seeing the need to start showing marans in the correct standards to help the APA better understand what needs to be accepted as the official standards.  But over all it's going to take the  marans community as a whole.
This club is not in competition with any other clubs, groups or organizations. We are a small club in numbers and our goal is to educate and learn of the French Standards Marans.   We are not a political club and have high regards towards the Marans Club de France.
The  club's mission statement  states the purpose and goals of the club.
 

MOAC members feel that things  should be done right the first time and this goal takes a little more patience in educating  ourselves to what needs to be done within our breeding programs so that we adhere to the French Standards. Then to be able to slowly present true French Standards Marans to the public, no matter what the variety of Marans.   So now that we have the old look behind us and the new look in front of us, let's do the same for the breed.

Thanks for a great first year.

US Delegate for the Marans Club de France  (A delegate as far as I am concerned is not just one person but a group of people working together)
Any one person thinking they can represent the  Marans Community, is sadly mistaken.}

My name is Jeanette McGee. I have enjoyed breeding the French Black Copper Marans and hope to offer any help I can in furthering the breed. I'm a single mom, raising a beautiful little girl, and live on a small farm in North MS. We raise many different animals, but our favorite is the Marans breed. I'm very excited about the future of this breed.
