International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

Ha! Just what my old eyes saw from the pic - bird on the right appears darker in the photo. Photos can play tricks with color depending on lighting so I have to defer to you as to true color. If you are saying your birds are blue you will get a 50% blue, 25% black & 25% splash hatch.

Thanks for the info!!!

Ah, yes, yes, now I can see him. He's a nice dark blue that will help balance out the lighter blue of the pullet. They still have some growing to do but they look like nice birds. Please post updated pics when they are about 6 months old so we can see the changes.

Hi every one ,been a little busy with my bad luck lately . problems with my incubator .humidity mister was not working properly .
I lost Incubation 1 and 2 ( over 300 eggs where thrown away . small dead embryos .

I changed the mister and now the bator is working like a dream .

you know how much the humidity mister cost ? $ 8 and I lost over $ 300 because of it . Not impressed with my self and not impressed with this cheap incubator .

I ordered the Brinsea Ova Easy 580 cabinet incubator and the Ova Easy Series II Hatcher to go with it .
they are going to be delivered on the first week of December .

every thing is super refine with Brinsea machine a little dear than other but ofer much better safety .
I can t be loosing like I did with Inc1 and Inc2 .I ll go broke .

Next Sunday I m expecting some Hatch from Incubation 3 .let see . the embryos look good to me plus the machine is working now . Fingers crossed .

Sure thing, the good folks on this thread are happy to answer questions and help out when we can. There is a lot of great information on this thread so try to read from the beginning if you have the time. Also, ask questions when you have them. The only dumb question is the one not asked. Best of luck with your Blues!
