Day 7 in incubator. Shipped eggs (BCM) 99.5-100 temp. 40-50% humidity. Thick Dark ring running the entire circumference of the egg.

So I see a few post about hatching in cartons... From what I was getting is that if you use a "turner'' that the eggs are on their sides then hatch them on their sides...if using a "rocker" style then place them in cut down egg carton to hatch in. This is supposed to be because of the location...

So the wife and I have some chicks that are about to hatch and I was looking for a chick waterer that hung.. we always had so much stuff in the waterer if it set on the brooder floor... Instead of buying one I repurposed an old hummingbird feeder and did this... Works like a charm and no $ spent lol

The wife and I got our shipment of black copper Marans eggs in today.. She just sent me a video of the unboxing since I'm at work. LOL. They seem to have been packaged fairly well and no damage to any of the eggs. 24-hour rest time and then in the incubator they will go I'm excited to get them...

Is $60 for a dozen black copper Maran eggs a fair price? Wife and I are wanting to hatch out some with our other eggs but wasn't sure if that was a fair price or not. I have never ordered eggs before. Thanks in advance!

So in an EE if the rooster had a pea comb is it more than likely to carry the blue egg gene? What about rose comb... Someone school me lol. I'm just learning. This is my guy and I'd like to hatch out some eggs from our cuckoo Maran or black copper marans.. What color eggs would they lay? Green?

So it looks like 2 of our BR turned out to be Roo's.. what's your opinion? Funny that they get along with the white EE roo
