    Right, I read that too. The only thing is, as I said before, these eggs are already deep, dark olive.

    What color eggs for Black copper Marans over olive egger?

    I picked up some eggs from a breeder today and he threw in a few olive egger eggs for free. He has never hatched any of those eggs and I forgot to ask if they hatched what color the eggs would be. So, since I know nothing about genetics and such I was wondering if someone could fill me in on...

    I am looking for hatching eggs. I would like to pick up locally in KY, but I will have them shipped if I must. No barnyard mix or ducks. Anything else is okay with me. Please please let me know what you have.

    A broody and a momma sharing a nest. Any experience with this?

    Alright, here is an update for anyone interested: Original momma will help and hang out with her babies as long as they follow her while she is doing whatever she wants to do (I have unkindly named her crack momma). Super broody hatched out 10 of her 16 eggs, but lost 2 along the way. She has...

    A broody and a momma sharing a nest. Any experience with this?

    Well, yesterday the original momma decided that mothering wasn't her schtick. She left the babies with broody and never came back to them, even roosted last night. Broody is raising 5 poults at 2 weeks old AND still on her nest. I checked a few eggs last night, but didn't get all of them since...

    A broody and a momma sharing a nest. Any experience with this?

    That is a concern of mine too, but I don't have another area to move her to. I wasn't expecting 4 of 5 turkeys to go broody at the exact same time. See what I get for thinking I had it all figured out? Right now she is still sitting, and at last check the eggs looked ready to go at any point...

    A broody and a momma sharing a nest. Any experience with this?

    I had a hen hatch out 5 poults around May 10. At first she kept them in a safe little cubby hidden away from everyone else. A few days ago I caught her the nest that occupies the brooding stall where she is with another hen on her eggs. Babies are snuggled up under both of them and in the...

    **~~>>Second Annual Cinco de Mayo Turkey Hatchathon<<~~**all poultry welcome!

    I love curious little turkeys! In somewhat related news: a chicken egg and a turkey egg have gone missing from under broody #1. I don't know when or how it happened. I'm hoping for the best case scenario of they got broken and eaten NOT kicked out, stolen, then gathered and sold. I do...
