Hi,

We have 4 Maran Eggs in our bator. We are having trouble candeling them. Any suggestions. We are new to the Maran's.

Hey is there anybody out there with advice on hatching the dark Maran Eggs?

 

[hdowden]

u cant candle dark eggs and best to ask this in the incubating and hatching section

They will be 17 weeks on Monday. Still no sex feathers, but have the most developed/reddest combs and wattles I've ever seen on young pullets. I'm assuming they were correctly sexed as pullets and are just funky due to being hatchery stock. Thoughts?

I believe i was correct. You have some very nice looking pullets. Now they are a bit older they look nothing like hybrids

 

[LaurenM]

I believe you were! Thank you!

Pullets!

My BCM has big wattles/comb and she looked really red for months and months before she started laying (and showed me that she had a deeper shade of red and more growing to do!). But, she's so round in the body that there was just no mistaking her gender.

The large headwear is agood sign no as it shows they wll be ready to lay soon. A large comb also indicates a hen that will lay a large number of eggs , usually.
