IA (incubators anonymous) September Hatches?

[Cyprus]

The eggs weren't from your birds, correct?

Correct.
They came from someone in my area. I know he only has a pair, though. And I think he hatched the parents himself.

My Bantam Ameraucanas did that to me last hatch, I couldn't figure out what went wrong. They were all late quitters, Day 16ish. Everything else hatched really well? I couldn't figure anything out. I'm trying again now! I'm also trying again with some quail eggs.

There are so many variables involved. I am looking forward to hatching my own eggs next year, and saving myself the added variables involved with shipped eggs! That is assuming I end up with a cockerel.
This is the BCM that hatched 2 and a half weeks ago. The comb looks rather pronounced for that age. Is this maybe my cockerel??

Looks like it! The good thing about sexing Marans is the boys show themselves really early!!! I can pick out a couple of my Coppers already just by coloring, they already have copper wing bars. You can't see it, but this one has quite the comb too. He hatched with a large comb.

Yeah these all quit super late. Just shy of day 18.

Awww, so sorry!

Awww, so sorry!

Thanks
It's a bummer but it meant that I got to keep what hatched since the numbers were so low

I posted a thread in the What gender is this. So far, 2 responses, both say cockerel. I was really hoping for a female BCM. I only plan to have one room, if that, and want a blue egg color gene. Bummer.

What a bummer. So sorry!!! If you pick Ameraucanas I suggest Silver or Wheaten, lol. I'm still not 100% sure the sex of the Blue, Black, and Lavenders that hatched on 8/2.
