    September 2015 Hatch-A-long!!

    Hope it helps out, I have to say that from the chicks who came in with it no more have died since starting the treatment and none of my other birds have either so hopefully its all got sorted out and they will all grow on well and healthy. The vet suggested I also treat my whole flock for it...

    I have one of these and it was the best investment I could have made, I can't recommend it highly enough. I have been hatching out various colors of Marans all summer here all from imported eggs and have only lost a couple out of all my hatches. There egg shell can be harder for them to break...

    Quote: I'll def post pic's of them and yes its an awesome color its Silver and Black as opposed to the Copper and Black. There very rare over here so I've had to import the eggs, hence I'm not expecting a huge hatch rate from 18 eggs. I've candled the eggs and x 4 are def viable x 3 more are...

    I've had eggs hatch as early as 18 days and as late as 24 days, so I always leave mine in until about 25 days. You may well yet still get a nice surprise.

    I think that the weather does influence things I know it does with horses foaling as I worked in the Horse breeding industry for many years. We finally at long last got a few weeks of warm weather despite summer now being nearly over so I do feel this is a factor. Anyhow I just checked on them...
