Hey someone beat me to the punch! I am planning to work on this (Blue Cucko) project from a few dark egg laying hens and a Cuckoo Cockerel. Would of like to see them under batural sunlight...

Vicky~ That is a bit odd that they tun differently when there is less weight on the rack? its been a while.......Did you ever get the clear viewing door installed? Post a picture if you havent already... Cheers,

Its an interesting theory! I would be interested in hearing if some of the more experience folks have hear of this preactice before?????

Update on the Wine-bator test run: Apparently, I was lucky enough to be sent an IncuKit with a faulty thermostat. Yeah,...not really! So after, the empty test runs, thinking I had the kinks worked out, I filled one of the rack with eggs (Marans, Cochin, EE’s) and I struggled to get the temp...

Quote: Awesome picture Vicky! That is one BIG @$$ ROOSTER you got on your hands:thumbsup

Quote: Got to love those mean roo's.......in a pot that is! A few years back I had a huge GL polish (WoodY) that was given to us as a chick. He turned out to be a real pit bull. He would boss everyone in the yard except Diamond (Diamond was a 13lb Lt. Brahma) who he grow up with. I never saw...

Quote: Jazmine~ its hard to tell at such a young age...besides all baby chicks are keepers. But seriously speaking, it depends on what you have to work with and what your goals are with your birds? Did you mention if they were BCM's or ? I might have missed that? If you only have 12 chicks...

Quote: I have hatched a few Salmon Marans and they have the chipmunk pattern I have some too dark Wheatens and they hatched with a stripe down the back (faint faint) and look like Black Tailed Buff if you go to the Australian Marans web site they have chick pictures go take a look see what you...

Quote: You know me so well! Hey Vicki...were you able to get that article sent off to Math Ace? Sure did...I forwarded it to her not long after she asked for it. She said she'd read it today. I still need to go back and do a complete read through. Hopefully with the decent night of...

Quote: WELCOME ABOARD the Marans express thread! ! !

Quote: Same to you! Had a question for you inregards to your wine-bator- where did you put vent holes and how big? We currently have 2 chicks out with 4 more working on getting out. No Marans eggs this round- none of the girls are old enough yet! H&R~ I put 4 holes that were drilled in...

Happy New Year guys and gals!

Gila~ that is a good looking BCM Roo. That going to be a focus of mine this season is getting my BCM/BLCM birds bigger( taller and wider). I would say my BCM roo is average. MY BLCM roo is taller but more lean. Probably, because he isn't the dominant Roo in the group. My favorite part of the...

Quote: Here is an idea/ concept that I have been thinking of using on the next brooder set up I build. It will be on a smaller scale but I like the concept of warming just an isolated area for the chicks and its energy effeciency. Give it a gander.... (scroll down past the Coop section)...

Quote: I am so jealous of your winobator. Good luck on your hatch. I bet you are really excited! I placed some ads last year looking for a used nonworkinf wine cooler on CL that I could turn into an incubator. I had NO replies except for people trying to sell me working ones for more than I...

Thanks everyone for keeping your fingers crossed for us. Viviana(daughter) just put in the last set of EE eggs this moring. So we are good to go till the 8th for our first candling.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that my first set of eggs when into the VINO-BATOR tonight! It took me a while because I was playing with the temp, humdity, vents, etc under different scenarios and logging it down. My wife kind thinks i am....shall we say, "UP tight" about certain...

I think they are nice healthy looking birds. I am not a Marans SOP expert. But i like to give my opinion :-) Sinced you asked, here we Goooo.... What I like: (F=Frazier, N=Niles) F looks bigger. Is that correct? F better comb. N like feather color, tail length and angle N like feet color and...
