I am a little worried about the Marans too. I am getting one from Elizabeth tomorrow, the hatchery had a poor hatch on BLRW so they are supplementing them with Cuckoo Marans. I was only going to get one but I wonder if I should do two to be safe.Picking up baby chicks tomorrow , hoping they have a good trip and are in good shape! Brooder set up, probiotics for water, crumbles, and heat light. Set now am getting very excited. Took off work in the morning so I can get everyone settled. Hoping for a slow day at work so I can come home early. Hope they arrive on time, they shipped from Cackle Wednesday morning. Hoping my Marans are ok after reading the previous threads. Fingers crossed!
