    BLACK COPPER MARANS HATCHING EGGS 12+

    Hi Brian, I got your information from Lisa Schnapp, she is a wonderful person. She had only good things to say about you ! She recommended that I contact you because she said you had a pure Bev Davis line. She said you got your start from Brian Parks. I also got my start through Brian. I...

    I know you are right, I just hoped we would be one of those lucky people and have a much better hatch. I can buy BCM eggs closer to home, but they are not very clean lines and I hate to have to try and work through other peoples choices in breeding.

    When you say you incubate standing up, do you mean that you don't use your turner either ?

    Are there any safe ways to have eggs shipped without this amount of loss or is this amount of loss normal for shipped eggs ? It is very disappointing !!! Most of the eggs that didn't survive had dead embryos at different stages.

    Thank you ! I did incubate on their sides. My incubator was set up to incubate on their sides. I just ordered trays to have them stand up for the future. I just hatched some local eggs for a friend, including a Call duck egg on their sides, but didn't get any of the funky air cells, so I knew it...

    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    Anyone have any good advice of hatching eggs with saddle air cells ? I ordered my first online mail order BC Maran eggs, 18 of them. Just candled them tonight for lockdown tomorrow and there are only 8 that look like they could be alive. They all had messed up air cells. I am so disappointed :(

    Thanks .... I felt pretty happy that any hatched since I had incubated at about 55% humidity for the first 2 weeks until read it should much lower and then going dry. I think the baby might have still been a little wet, since some sticky liquid leaked out of the egg when it first pipped. The...

    Wanted to to give a little update ! I followed some good advice you all shared with me and all the eggs hatched except one that died during the night during hatching. It pipped before bed and I got up at 4:15 AM and it hadn't made any progress. I got up again at 6 AM and it had moved beyond the...

    Well it was for it's time, but I have never used it. I have other eggs BCMarans in another incubator I have, which is a "Humidaire" incubator. It does a rocking/cradle turner. I think it is way better. I think the next time, I will use the Turn-X only as a hatcher. Here is a picture of the...

    They are somewhere between day seven and day 14 as for size. Since they are dark brown, I don't think the camera would pick it up.

    Thank you for that advice ! The duck was set the same day, but I will move it before lockdown. I did remove the water about 5 days ago and the humidity is running at about 30% since then. Just not sure whether to wait to add humidity until I see the first pip so that the eggs have more time to...

    I am using a TurnX and the humidity was running about 50 to 55%. The temperiture has been running about 99.5 to 100. I am hoping I am not going to drown these babies. The eggs are Marans and one call duck egg. The eggs look dark so a little hard to read them, but I think alive, but I can see the...
