I believe I have one Roo which I hoping for. I'm in the process of ordering more eggs from her since I only had three hatch. She said since the weather is so hot the girls are on strike so it will be awhile.

They are all so cute. What a great hatch. So far I had 1 hatch and 1 died like yours. I have one more pip so far I'll still keep my fingers crossed

I not experienced enough to tell which are viabe yet before lockdown, I just keep my fingers crossed. Right now there are two pips. Thanks for the advise.
I don't think they are mottled, looks more cuckoo. Here are pictures what do you think of them and I think they all look like Roos? If they are Roo's I'll have to rehome them.

Finally got my white marans eggs today, wish me a good hatch I hope UPS was gently handling the box. They were packed really good. I'll let them rest today put them in tomorrow and 21 days from now I'll let everyone know if there white. The eggs came from Missouri so hope the Ups didn't...

Genetically correct cuckoos should breed true... meaning no whites at all. To get white, your roo has to carry recessive white, and one of your hens must carry it as well. In that case you have a one in four chance of a white, and a 50% chance of producing more carriers.

As long as there white marans I don't care what mutant they are. Maybe I'll name one of them alien. I also hope they will be hens. I enjoy reading your input, you have alot of knowledge on chickens.

Please post some pictures of your marans. I...
