Quote: That's the thing - there are so many ignorant amateurs breeding Olive Eggers, hatching them in the same clutch with Marans, selling hatching eggs, when they don't even understand what they're doing nor the implications thereof.

That was merely speculation on my part. The best thing is to enjoy watching you chick-a-doodles grow up and see what they lay. They're sure to capture your heart, if they have not done so already.

I doubt they're birchen. As Jeremy stated, it's probably just some white peach fuzzz. I'm still dying to know the origin of the yellow-legged Marans. Which breeder has tainted Marans with EEs?

I wont help a chick out unless I have made a bad error with humidity or something and that is why it has a hard time. by day 24, not me. to me that is perpetuating weak stock.

I think (hope too) that will help very much Drom - to leave them all in there until the hatch is completed. Good luck!

Hi HSR!

That is consider very impressive for a Welsummer egg yes? How do separete the OEs so not to confuse? If there is a single comb hatched?

I love the Golden Cuckoos. I'm just so happy to be getting this guy back. I have photos to find later. Its amazing he is alive and well as are both of his girls.

I'm so excite, I'm getting back a rooster I gave away over 1.5 years ago! We have his sisters! Cuckoo Marans with the dark eggs! They never had a mate becase I never saw anybody worthy enough.

Quote: no are you in Florida. everything that i see is so often in Florida that i am looking for. and then it goes to California immediate and then they spread inways. it is like an invasion! haha!

it seems to me though everything is awailable in Florida and close to Florida.

personally me i like for my chickens to not be under my feet like producion reds do. my marans and other neat ones clear away and i like this when i try to walk amongst them. it can be very bad to step on a chicken foot and but more likely i will fall by try to not step on it.
