    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    You know, Geebs, I think they're neighbors. I could be wrong, though. But yes, I think you might be right. More of Patty's went into lockdown this evening, Nancy's (Bargain) eggs are locked down on the 1st, and Donna's go into lockdown next Wednesday. So hopefully I will have enough to...

    Quote: Thank you... I've been a shutterbug for the last 40 years. But I discovered that if I take a nice piece of lace, or in this case fleece, and drape it over the back of a chair and onto a table, it makes a perfect backdrop for the birds. They two I photographed today are the same...

    Quote: Nice pair!! My cockerels never get their saddle coppering in THAT early. . . He's 10 weeks old. Ya, he's got a little bit of a bald patch on his saddle that's growing out nice copper. I'm very excited to see how he turns out.

    Don't know if there are any for sale anymore... ? I tried doing a search, and couldn't find any. Here's a link to the chart... you might try saving the photo, and adjusting the tint for the white background.

    Those pictures above are 1st generation chicks from birds I hatched from Patty (OnTheSpot) last year. I believe the girls are Wade Jean/Ron Presley lines? Patty? I am not sure about my rooster... I need to find my notes... I will be keeping all of the birds I hatch this year until they're...

    Oh Geebs... I'm so sorry... That's just WRONG. Well, these little boogers hatched back in February... they're 9.5 weeks old today. Just thought I'd share, and hope that y'all will share some thoughts/observations. They're still evolving, obviously. ETA: wow... can't see any of the copper...

    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    I had a Millie abandon her nest and let her eggs get down to 45°F for a couple of hours before I found them. They were at day 18, and still hatched. I figured I have nothing to lose by leaving them in the incubator. They'll die for sure if I DON'T put them back in. *sigh* It couldn't have...

    Quote: My husband signed up first, and used AK-Bird-Brain as his name... I kept using his account, and starting a post with "Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain here..." and it stuck. I've been so tired lately, I'm not surprised that I forgot it, but OMG... why did it have to be her eggs? I hope there's a...

    OMG, I am so sick to my stomach right now... I won some Marans eggs from Bargain, and was candling them late last night. They were a week along, and showing signs of growth. In the middle of candling, my husband called me out to look at something on the computer, and we got distracted, and I...

    Quote: I have a few of her eggs in the incubator, too... Which is why I'm worried about the humidity. I had a therm/hygrom in the room that I hatch in... the ambient humidity was 71%... no wonder I was having problems! (ps... your mailbox is full... )

    Quote: Thanks Sue... I think that's a-what I'm gonna do. I have a 1502, and I keep water in the pan throughout, then put the wick in for the last 3 days. All the other chicks hatch just fine, but the Marans don't. I guess I will continue to hatch them in the Hova... I'm still learning...

    Quote: Thank you... I have a Hovabator set with just the BCMs in it, and only one trough has water. With Spring just around the corner, our ambient humidity is pretty high, so maybe that's the trick... just dry and not worry about it. I'm waiting for one or two silkies to go broody... I'm...

    I have 3 girls, and the one that is the closest to being "correct" lays the biggest darkest eggs I have... not as dark as Geebs' () but dark enough... I put them in a pure white carton next to an almost pure white egg. My problem is, I can't get anything to hatch from them. The girls started...
