Is there a trick to candling black copper maran eggs to hatch. I'm new to this breed but trying to get started

I would like some nice black copper maran chicks or started fowl.

I went n used a shoe box n place a 60 watt light bulb on the inside then cut a hole on the side. It worked OK then I realized I had the flash light app on my phone. It worked beautifully. Apparently I am still struggling to use the phone to post on this site though between auto correct n trying to quote someone.

I can! Do you think I can just mix it with her water? I'm keeping her off solid foods for a few days - she insists on laying, and the prolapse recurs when she poops, so I'm hoping a few days of bowel rest will help.

Yes you can! That's good. Just let her rest, and she should be better in a few days hopefully.

Do white Marian's lay a dark egg?

Mine do not lay super dark eggs. I think the darkest I've gotten is about #7. Most are more like #4 to #6.
