Contacted seller of black copper maran eggs waiting for reply

If they are as big of freeloaders as my Cuckoo Marans don't bother waiting...

Worthless birds!

Nah, just stand on tip-toes.... It's easy.

So how does one not squish it?

Actually, standing on a bagel is good practice for standing on a duckling..

You'd be so proud of me, I ate a duckling this morning.

Please elaborate.

I have 2 cuckoo maran hens. I get 3 eggs a week from the 2 of them, and they think they have paid their own way! That is bunk.... If they cannot give me 4 eggs each they will be moving to freezer camp.

You would be so proud of me too,,

I tried to recreate your cold egg hatch,,



I being old, forgot 6 eggs on the top of the incubator when I out eggs in the hatcher...The room was 75 degrees but they sat out for 20 hours...

I have my fingers crossed on them hatching..

I am thinking they won't, but yours did and these never got that cold,,BUT they were cold a long time.

Any idea how long it took yours to get cold?
