My final hatch was 17 Chicks out of 20. 1 baby died
You had a great hatch!
Marans are tough!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:
They are so cute too.
