True, but they were completely clear when I received them. It could also have been the week and a half it took him to mail them to me after payment, too. :rant
Eeks! Yesterday was a busy day and I didn't have time to come online, but of my 13 eggs set, I now have 6 baby Marans! :love Pictures will be posted later today.
The ones that hatched were from a lady on here I bought eggs from. Of the 8 shipped eggs from her, these 6 hatched. Not bad for...
Whoo hoo! I set 13 eggs at 1pm today, exactly. :love:love:love All Marans. 5 from Black Copper, 8 from Blue/Speckled.
Honestly, I’d just be happy if I got at least 2 blue and 2 speckled. I know the odds are against me... but that doesn’t stop me from hoping. :lau:fl
Question. How long after being laid are eggs able to hatch? I ordered some eggs on eBay (stupid, I know... but they were cheap. Now I know why... :rant)
And it took him about 2 weeks to actually send them to me... after telling me they were all packaged up and ready to go. :he
(Thank goodness I...
I was supposed to set my eggs today, but the PO sent them to the wrong place. :he
But I got it all sorted and will get them tomorrow morning, and will set them Sunday. I can’t wait!!
That is a VERY good point! I love the way you think... :lau Don’t think hubby will, tho.
Guess I’ll be having more chicks than originally planned. :gig
I guess we'll find out how mine do. I have an "open coop" set up, tho, so I'm hoping that will help and the heat won't be an issue. (Texas definitely gets hot in the summer!)
My splash and blue Marans eggs are in the mail with a delivery date of 3/8, and they will be set 3/9. I'm soooooo excited! However, I really don't have room for the Bielefender eggs I was planning on hatching... But I may do it anyway. I haven't decided yet. :oops:
