So I found 4 eggs in a corner of the garage. Could these be from my Marans? I'll be so excited if she started laying!! They are way darker than my other eggs.

*She is from the Marans eggs I hatched from @Chickengirl1304 ***

They look like Marans eggs!

Are they fertile?

I don't know.

I haven't opened them yet. Melvin has been gone for about a week now. Would they be fertile if he's been gone, and she just started laying?

That is good news! It is always nice to have some hatch--The pipped eggs should all hatch and hopefully more too! Today I get to do the 7 day candling on 50plus eggs.

I know you are happy but it sounds daunting!

Exciting!!!!!! I have 50 eggs at day 5 and I'm looking forward to candling them! I'm trying to decide if I want to set another group of eggs from my backyard or wait to see what these mixes look like. I have a group of CL/CL mix pullets that follow Zoro around like groupies. 4 of their blue eggs hatched in this last hatch along with 3 brown eggs. I should have separated them at hatch because all 7 chicks look alike. They look like Pita Pintas but with more black on them. I'm hoping that the CL/PP mixes will lay a green egg.

Mint green is my guess.

Don't ever hatch your Marans with Langshans because the chicks look almost identical! Here is a pic of Langshan chicks to show you how much they look like your chicks. black Langshans blue Langshans white and splash Langshans

Your cuties have buff marks. Marans wont. Thats all I see.

That sounds adorable! It would be so hard to part with them!

Ahh but if you dont part with them you can't have more!

Those are nice marans eggs! If melvin was a buzy bee they could he fertile.

Yes, they could be fertile for another week plus.

Only three of the UofA eggs are clears!

When these hatch, I will have to use two brooders.....or the heat lamp....
