Well no babies to bring home. I think he didn't like that I asked him what faults he has seen in his line??? OR maybe that I live so close to him? Not sure. Anyways.... I did find someone else 2 hours away with beautiful birds who only hatches from 7-9 colour eggs and said he would sell me some in the spring when they start laying again. So I will plan for that.
Gotta have a rooster day over here. Need to get my recently acquired rooster out of isolation and winterize my outdoor coop. Lots to be done. I also need to try out my homemade incubator sometime between now and Jan.... maybe with one of my Maran cockerels over CLB and other blue egg layers. They are still laying here and there. Want to make sure I use it a few times before trying to hatch out those eggs Ill hopefully be buying.
My pullet eggs from this week. Dates above them. Tried to group them into ones that looked most similar. What do you think? I think they are getting darker??
I really like the shape and texture of these eggs...classic Marans egg. Color appears to be darkening some. Marans egg color will lighten over the duration of the lay cycle. Color could be darker but that is always the case for Marans.
