Aha! Mystery solved. What I thought was a maran hen is in fact a welsummer hen. Totally my mistake. Sorry for the confusion.

Here is a better photo of her. I'm not sure what mossy means actually.

I'll break it to her easy. Thanks for the reply. (The eggs taste pretty good though.)

Okay, so I need some help. I have what I thought were a pair of copper blue marans. I'm attaching a really bad (but the best I can do photo of them.) The chicks of this pair are nearly jet black with just the slightest touch of copper. What in the world have I got here? (This is probably...

Well...5 of the 6 hatched....eggtopsy showed the 6th never really developed at all. Cute little chicks cheeping quietly in the corner. Don't ya just love that content little cheep?

Locked down last night...now just wait

So, I set 6 copper blue maran eggs on the 30th. I have terrible hatching rates so, I'm hoping that I get a few chicks. These eggs are from my only hen and she told me that she needed some help handling this rooster so I'm trying to accommodate.

I started a mix the same day you did CraftyChicky. Things were going along pretty good. I candled last night and only 2 were culled. The power went out for a few hours last night, but according to folks with lots more experience, they still had success even following a power outage. so...I...

So, I'm about a week into incubating a mix of eggs and wouldn't you know it, the power went out. It was only off for about 4 hours, so I'm hopeful that things will work themselves out. It was really reassuring to come here this morning and see all of the other war stories about power outage...

Sorry to hear about your flock rrrmamma. It's funny how when it's not theirs, stuff has no value. I hope you have a great hatch.

So, I set a few eggs late yesterday. I'm a relative newbie at this and haven't had the best success in the past. I've decided to give the "dry" hatch a go and see if I can improve my hatch rate. A few Ameraucana, some welsummers (I love the way these guys look), and a few marans. Here's...

PM'd you about these....sorta....I needed more coffee for today!

Pm'd you! and sent paypal out.. Thanks!

I with that I could answer your question, but, just to give you one more thing to thing about as you do this. If you'll put your leftover produce down, cover it with dry leaves, you'll be making a compost pile. The chickens will scratch through the leaves to get to the produce and constantly...

I'm getting a mix of blue black and splash. Should be really nice chicks. I'm not sure how quickly you can tell which they are.

Ameracaunas. I love them. I'm looking for a few welsummers and marans
