Do marans take longer to hatch?

[hmlongino]

I was just wondering if marans take longer to hatch than others? I know I had white leghorns that all hatched a day early than all others in the bator, so I am sure breeds do different things. Just curious, as I'm going on day 22 tomorrow.

I dunno, but my white leghorn hatched a day early as well...

I have a marans as well, but I bought her a day old...

I'm wondering this too. I'm on day 23/24 with mine.

good question, our bantams hatched a day early.

I stopped hatching marans with my other breeds because they always take longer, sometimes 2 days. My rocks tend to hatch early anyway, so it would give me a really long hatch.

Let them ride... Some strains do.... I wouldn't give up on them till they ran a week over and then I would still float test one.

Interesting... I'm on day 3 with some BCMarans & bantam Ameraucanas... so the BCMs will be later than the AMs...

We shall see!! 4 of the 11 hatched yesterday, but I am really hoping there will be some late hatchers!

Americaunas will hatch first... and the rules are double for you.. YOu have to have an exit strategy if you marans hatch to much later than the americaunas because they can't survive in the bator till the others hatch.. (bathroom and run the shower to stabilize temp/humidity) this requires thinking ahead... extra hydrometer
