Ok ok I'm in. You've convinced me.
Going to cancel the hatchery order. SuperRX will sell me some eggs to cover my colored layer/NN fixation and I'll see what else I can find.
I really like getting those hatchery boxes filled with mostly girl babies (no roos to send to their doom) but I also hate that they have to sit in the postal system for days after hatch.. Hatching is more fun.![]()
I see I am still charged with helping keep Mahonri sane during this hatch-a-long too. Shouldn't that job rotate?![]()
Well wasn't going to Hatch tell later in the year. Boy you all are bad influences. I have more chickens than I need but I love those babies.
May have to buy some cochin banty egges from a friend. A trip again 30 miles both ways. Maybe mine will start laying by then. My marans are laying All different colors (separated by color) I'd like to hatch the wheatens but rooster isn't working really well has been under the weather. The splash marans young and so are the BC marans hens he is in with. It would be nice to hatch all blue babies....
I will have to see what kind of eggs I have come MARCH 17Th Happy Hatching to all of you amblers LOL Sueg California
Lord have mercy, I am finally caught up.If someone with the knowledge and time on their hands would add me to the map I would appreciate it. Nor Cal, just above Sacramento.![]()

Thanks for clarifying that! I'm getting a small mix of Marans and Ameraucana eggs shipped, so I'll only sand the dark eggs.Yes, clump immediately, but mine sit under the ecoglow for 2 days before they come investigate. The sand is perfectly appropriate for the grass- really, they pick at the dirt, more than the grass....and scratch and scratch and scratch at it!
I like Exact and Kaytee, but I think they are essentially similar, as baby parrots' systems are fairly particular.
I only sand VERY dark eggs, such as Marans, Penedescencas, Empordanesas, etc. Marans eggs have a thick color coat and it seems less permeable than the normal shell, but even moreso, less permeable after shipping. Local or home eggs don't have issues.
The shell thickness isn't different, and the Marans must be allowed free-choice oyster shell like any other, as thin shells are more likely to break internally, leading to yolk peritonitis and deathDon't let anyone tell you not to give oyster shell, folks!![]()
I'm off to the farm- running late and I'm SURE the biddies are going to be cursing me...One girl WAILS at the top of her lungs until she's let out...sounds like you're peeling her toes. Such a noise!!
