I've done some reading and decided to go this way with the Marans.
They are incredibly hard to candle.
I've got them propped upright in the NurtureRight for 3 days, then will lay on side and turn on the turner.
Temp 99.5 Humidity 46%
(Minnesota with wood stove, it's dry in here)
So I didn’t account for the sellers sending me 3 to 4 extra and have too many eggs for my 2 incubators.
One holds 12 (Amazon purchase) and the other 22 (NurtureRight 360)
So, I ran to my dad's and got his little giant (still air), sanitized it and plugged it in.
Marans will go in the...
Thank you!
I ordered a Little Giant just for that purpose.
I also got my Marans eggs 2 days earlier, so I'll start the Orpingtons, Marans and Welsummers and ask the Cream Legbars to hold off another week or 2.
When I made the decision to get chickens (its been 4 years) I decided instead of day old chicks from a Hatchery (like in the past) I'd do something different and try hatching eggs.
I went with 4 different breeds
My 1st group arrived today!
Welsummers (11 eggs)
I'll let these sit for 6 hours...
