Hello,
I am a new member here but have been reading a lot of information over the last year. I have 7, 17 week old Black French Copper Maran Hens and 1 Cockerel.
I am hoping to hatch out some of their eggs, but understand this is difficult.
Last August (2025) i puchased some BFCM hatching eggs off ebay, this did not go well and none of them hatched, out of 12, at the same time i had great success with Buff Orpington and Rhode Island Red.
There are many different views, as far as i can work out the best results for Marans is the humidity to be 25-35% for the first 18 days and crank this upto 65% for the lockdown period. Is this correct? Sorry i know this has been gone over, just checking if there is any new information on this?
Many thanks!
