With cuckoo marans, you never know. Honestly, even the chicken breed chart says they are:
"well adaptable to confinement or free range; varies widely by strain: very active; calm or wild, difficult or easy to manage"
If that gives you an idea. It all depends on the strain.
i havent read through all the posts, so I dont know if i'm repeating anything, but parrots reject their parents once they have reached sexual maturity, it would be better just to buy a parrot, or sell any that you hatch.
I have raised a lone chick. Sweetest chicken I have. Umm... If her bum is poopy, turn down the heat, and stop feeding her treats. Put a mirror and a stuffed animal with her in her brooder, and handle her lots, like while you're home, on the computer, watching tv, even in a box in the kitchen...
Haha. Chicken boy was kidding guys. There are many shades of eggs though. I don't think anyone has counted them before, it would be quite hard, unless you had an egg from every chicken in the world.
That is soooo true! They have great customer service, but like all humans, they make mistakes, but unlike most places, they go out of their way to fix them.
I wont be hatching that much. 2 dozen at a time at most. Thanks for the suggestion though. So it has an incubator.... And a hatcher? Interesting. It would be worth the extra $100 just for that, but I already have another incubator that I made myself, which is pretty steady at 101-103 degrees...
I think I will be getting the turbofan hovabator with an egg turner... Total of $144. $140 if I buy the fan and the incubator seperately, but I am willing to pay the extra $4. I looked at the R-com (the only one I would really consider is the 20 egg one) and it is like $400.
