Beautiful Big Buff Orpingtons, everybody wants them. I saw my first Buff Orpington, as most people have, at the local feed store. When I purchased twelve of them I thought," This is it, I'm a breeder of Buff Orpingtons" Much to my surprise these feed store chicks grew into the smallest "Large...
There are a few good Marans breeders down South, in or near your area. You can post a request on "California Chickens" which is a Yahoo site. Deb's Birds down in San Diego is a good source for information. Deb purchased eggs from me a couple of months ago. She also has a classified page on...
She looks like a BCM to me. She has the body, leg feathering and head. She is lacking black pigment unfortunately. The lack of black pigment causes the copper in the hackle to not only be too light, almost straw colored and for it to spread through out the breast and wing. She is what is...

I must have missed it, but which model is this? There is a guy here in CA that has a four tray Leahy and it is in pristine condition. He actually has two, one was used for parts. He wants $300 for both, I'm thinking of buying them.
I asked him the manufacturer and model. He told Leahy and...
Well..............I help them out. I have noticed after having bred Marans for over five years, that their eggs are very hard. My average time for Marans eggs rangeds from 22 to 26 days, even with "Ideal" temp and humidity.
I've been helping chicks out of their shells for years. Sometimes they end up being cockerels, sometimes hens. You get what you get, right? There are times that they survive only to die later. Mother nature usually knows best. There is a reason why some don't make it.

Yes, I agree. Leave them in until all are hatched. I have a sportman and I used to take them out as soon as they were dry. Big mistake! The chirping that the hatched chicks do encourage the other chicks to hatch.
Sometimes I have to help the chicks out of their shells. I don't like doing...
