I set smaller pullet eggs all the time...they hatch out just fine. My little Stoopid baby that hatched last week came from one of the smallest pullet eggs I can remember setting and Stoo is doing great!!!! And I couldn't believe that huge chick came out of that little tiny egg. Matter of fact the other Blue Laced Barnie project baby that hatched also hatched from a very small pullet egg.

Hatch Away my friend!

Hope your hubby feels better and you get rid of that crick!

I hatch pullet eggs all the time, just was not sure about marans.... Thanks

Hmm do you think if I seperated out some couples for the breeding pen, it would be enough time to clear out the 'old rooster's' semen to get chicks/fertile eggs from the new roos in time to set them for New Years? Then I gotta think of how I will hide the incubator. Hmmm maybe someone will go broody and I can just pull out the chicks after they hatch and stick them in the bator and act like its been out the whole time and dh was just blind

I don't know if it will help....but I think we are safe for today (couldn't find anything I wanted) but day is young and somebody could put up a new auction.

Just looking for something fun to add to the layer pen maybe. Possibly a breed I've never had.
Would jump all over some more BLRW's if I found them.

Hens~ Do your Blue Andies lay white eggs?

Shame on you for even THINKING to do that!
