Thanks to you guys I decided to join the New Years hatch-a-long this year, and boy am I glad you did so
Put 20 Black copper marans eggs in my homemade incubater. There were chicks in 11 of those (hard to see with brown eggs).
1 never made it out of the egg. I helped it a little, but it still died.
1 almost died on me, but it's getting better every hour passing by (walking, eating and drinking)
9 are in perfect condition.
So... 50 % hatchrate. Not fantastic, but still pretty good considering the season.

Easter is a early this year, so I'll still have to paint the eggs myself for easter

Here are som pics:

Nice, in your homemade bator! Question if you come back...I hatched some Blue Copper Marans a while back, just a couple of months old, but am wondering, how long do they usually take to start laying? Are they one to start around the 5 or 6 month time?

I got a pair of finches from a pet store ($20 each), then I hatched one of their eggs and then the baby helped them hatch out another egg. So the baby I hatched is the only one left.

Let's hope baby stays well!!

Got my new (to me) incubator! I'm going to be ready for the Easter hatch a long

Congratulations! A lot of eggs can fit into that thar bator!

Why, Thank you Yokel!

Your's too!

Hugs!!

Where do you live Local? You don't worry about cold I take it? Saw the Texas photo last night, but not sure if it was a vacation photo.

Sorry about your finches
They can suddenly die right around a cold snap overnight, don't ask how I know

Can't wait to see what you hatch out!

Seemed like you didn't sleep at all last night! There were some interesting discussions... about Bookface and things like that...

Sadly the only internet in our house is cable, and it is only down in the living room, so I have to go to bed when everybody else in my family does

Bookface!
Don't hurt Muh feelers now
