I have seen these birds in person, even hatched some. Good quality Marans!!!

I have 2 buttercup hen and 1 rooster. Should be laying in the next month or two. I can send you some eggs once they get going. Let me know. Jimmy

Anyone know of any up coming trade shows/ chicken events in the Houston area

I am no expert at this. I have never shipped chicks but I have bought alot lately. I had 15 marans shipped from Georga to Houston like that and they were fine. There was no heating pad. Hope it helps.

I was wondering what to do with the the empty incubator. I thought about ordering some more eggs but really didnt want to spend the the money so I started thinking about I might solve this problem. I sent an email to the people I bought the last batch of eggs from, they have a farm a couple of...

If it helps, I did the exact same thing. I hatched 5 out of 12. It would have been more but they couldnt make it out of the shell. I dont think that you have much to worry about, it is the heat that really gets them. continue as normal.

I just had to show yall this one. This time it is about quality not quantity. I am so thankful for the ones that made it.

I went through all my eggs again. I only found two that are still alive. If those live it will make 5 out of 13 eggs. I think that the chicks did suffocate cause they looked fully developed, they just died before the hatch. I will do better next time, I have my eye on some more dorking eggs.

Hey countrybum, Earlier you had mentioned that you had eggs with big air sacs that got suffocated. Perhaps I am just being too worried for nothing but I just cant help but feel worried. The air pockets seem to take up about a third of the eggs, is that normal. This is still only day 20...

OK, I have two in the brooder doing great. I have one that broke halfway out of the shell but still has the yolk and is attached to the egg. One other one just piped but he is going slow. Check this out, Five toes. Just like me.

I had two hatch. One is full of energy and one is still half asleep. Two days early. Salmon Favorolles

Hey guys/ gals, I put up a video of the eggs chirping if anyone is interested.

Quote: I have come to the realization that in order to be in this chicken raising hobby one must try to desensitize themselves to the killing/culling. If you have this attitude from the begining that you will only breed the best of the best and the others are food, it will be easier. The first...

Hey Bum, Now I am scared. They are still chirping but none have broke free or even piped. I check them at least every minute but it just makes me more nervous. These guys were put in the bator on 4-25, which should make this day 19 but they are wiggling the egg all around and...

Wow, I just went in to check the temp/ humidity levels. The room was real dark and I shined the flashlight in there and guess what happened.......... Peep........................... Peep...................................... I wasnt expecting them for a couple more days. I wonder how long it...

This is fun I am about 2-4 days behind most of you, just now starting to raise humidity level. I want everyone to post lots of pictures. I am still in a daze as the reallity sets in about all these new chicks. I should have more than 50 in the brooder in about a week. Alot of strange...

congrats, keep us updated. I am on the edge of my seat, and I want photos.

I will try for a few more days to sell these. If they dont sell soon Iwill start building another pen for them.

No they are too big. it would cost way too much. I can meet you somewhere if you like.
