Any of the Marans? It was you that was hoping for the Marans yes?

Marans are slowest to hatch.

Not yet.. they’re taking their time, but one egg was peeping, so hopefully they will hatch overnight

Marans are slowest to hatch.

Does that mean always longer than 21 days? I have 2 Maran eggs in the incubator right now at day 21 and nothing is happening. So I wonder...

I will think good thoughts for you and them! I have 2 Marans and they are so lovely, so I hope you get to have both of them!

What day are your Maran eggs on now? I'm getting anxious with mine (day 21 today).

Day 21 as well, but they’re shipped eggs, so maybe that’s why? There’s an araucana egg that is also slow to hatch, but it at least pipped.

Hello, I am back again. Just had my first set of *incubator* eggs hatch. This is the second clutch for February though that I’ve done.
22 eggs were set, 22 made it to lockdown, 21 have pipped and hatched. I consider this an excellent hatch.
Unfortunately.. one chick was an assisted hatch. It got vacuum sealed into it’s egg, I believe at some point in the incubator, but there’s a chance it could’ve been when I was taking the chicks out(I was removing them because I thought this assisted hatch chick died in eggshell)
The assisted hatch chick is drying off in the incubator right now, but it keeps worryingly sticking one leg out behind it’s body.
Ill get photos later, but I also have two more clutches set to hatch in 10 or 11 days.
