if i am not mistaken the marans need a higher humidity to hatch. I wanna say it was Bargain who said that. They are from a swappy area and their membrane gets dried out quicker. She suggested 55-60% and then 70%
I had a bad hatch and asked, my humidity was to low. I was 35-40%.

I am in no way an expert on the subject! Just passing along info shared to me because i totally love Marans! And i as well just so want wynette eggs! I love her Jersey giants........ahhhhhhhh so need $$$$ Should be a great bunch of fluffy butts!

Oh, really? I have not heard that. My very first hatch was my most successful. It was a barnyard mix, and I kept the humidity around 35%, then up to 65% at hatch, as suggested by BYCer Katy, who lives near my elevation. That is what I am going by.

Anyone else suggest differently? Please let me know.​

Kathy (in MO),

Since YOU are so PROFICIENT at doing those "errands" such as "going to the Bank" and the "Feedstore", I have decided to ALLOW you to do these "appointed errands" in my stead, although it certainly will "diminish" my stature as a provider hereabouts.

GO AHEAD and Do IT (in my stead) !!!

The Bank needs maybe $3000.00 but will settle for $2,000.00 for a week or two.......the Feedstore is easier......a couple of hundred will do for NOW!

I should DO these things again myself, but I can SEE that you are MORE INTERESTED than I am...and perhaps NEED the EXPERIENCE....so...I'll "bow-out" and LET YOU DO IT!!
(I've been doing it for near 50 years and I DON"T NEED any more experience!)

HAVE FUN!

Believe me, I do not need any more experience either; as you should know, I am NEAR your age! I would love to run your errands for you, but alas, no funds to allow it!

However, I am able to make it to the post office frequently, and those darn Polish sure drive me crazy!

I'll NOT TRY to be the 1st person to PM after your 1000th post.

BUT, IF I keep "irritating you", I'll BET I can hurry it along!

Ha-Ha!

MY FIRST EX-WIFE sent me THIS TODAY:


WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED:



Men Are Just Happier People--



Your last name stays put.



The garage is all yours.



Wedding plans take care of themselves.



Chocolate is just another snack.



You can never be pregnant.



Car mechanics tell you the truth.



The world is your urinal.



You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky.



You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.



Same work, more pay.



Wrinkles add character



People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them..



New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.



One mood all the time.



Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.



You know stuff about tanks and engines.



A ten-day vacation requires only one suitcase.



You can open all your own jars.



You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness..

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.

Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.



You never have strap problems in public.



You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.



Everything on your face stays its original color.



The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.



You only have to shave your face and neck.



You can play with toys all your life.



One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons.



You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.



You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife.

You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.



You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.



No wonder men are happier.



Send this to the women who can handle it and to the men who will enjoy reading it




a couple of things are in error, but MOSTLY CORRECT !!!!

Ha-Ha!

I have never found that to be true. I've had my cuckoos for 7+ years and I've got wheatens now also and I've never incubated them any different than my other eggs. I incubate them alongside my orps, wyandottes and others and get a good hatch from them. I run my humidity at about 30% for the first 18 days and bump it up to 60% for the final three days.

Okay, another day closer to the pre-Halloween hatch. Temp and humidity steady today. I set 18 more eggs at midnight Saturday night, so they have been in for over 24 hours now. Sunday, Oct 11 as day 1 for them.They are lavender orpington project eggs. I can hardly wait to set the Delaware eggs that should be here this coming week. (psssst... honestly though, I am just as excited to get the quilt and sweatshirt!)

Ooohh, I am so excited just thinking about next spring. I am really looking forward to it. That is when all these babies I am hatching will be laying! Alot to look forward to.

I had to work today, so really did not get any work on the new coop accomplished. My house is a mess, as I have neglected it lately. OK, off I go to do the laundry!

Thanks for your post Katy!
