Hi cthrash1,
How did the hatching go? I got the same eggs from the same source. I was able to hatch all but one Blue and Black Copper Marans (10). It could have been 10 if I didn't drop one on day 2 when I was turning them in my still-air Hova bator.
Hi there!
WOW you could have had a 100% hatch on shipped eggs!!! Thats great!!! Hate it that you dropped one though
... I've done that before when I used to have my equipment, really puts you on a guilt trip.
Union is still sitting tight, actually tighter than before now that I set her some food and water in the box with her. When I candled the 6 Cochin bantam eggs last week 3 were thriving and 3 were not so now she has 2 white and 1 barred to hatch out of those if nothing happens to them in the next 4 days.
As far as the Marans go, I can't really see in them all I can see is the air cells. and in one I could see a little bit of space at the point end all dark throughout the center. The really dark ones I couldn't see in at all. So I just resort to the sniff test on all of them daily... I do have one that felt way lighter than the rest last week, I'm thinking it was a quitter.
Thank you for the encouragement on how well your hatch went on your Marans... Been hoping for a good hatch out of the 8 I have.
