I bought a dozen Black Copper Maran eggs and only 6 hatched. One died about 2 weeks ago but the other 5 are still going strong. I emailed a couple photos back to the person I bought the eggs from and he told me that I have Silver Blue Maran Birchens. Is this correct? And is this something you...
OMG I got a pip! I hear some peeping too! How long does it take them to come out? I am nervous! What if the others haven't come out? When do I take the hatched ones out of the bator?
Today is Day 19 for my 14 BCM eggs. My bator is on the "Older" side so I have to open the lid to add water if humidity drops. Is this ok at day 19? I really am trying to do everything perfect so that all 14 will hatch. Just very nervous I guess!
