Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

It may take a couple of weeks and will most likely depend on the climate where you live. You will love your marans!
 
Ok....I know I'm gonna get harrassed for this...but today at work while I was unloading the truck and i had gone into one of the walk in coolers here..the first thought I had was, "how easy would this be to make into a giant incubator?!" hahah I'm such a dork

Oh, you are SO not alone! Our grocery store just put in new coolers. Problem is, the doors don't stay shut! Every time someone closes one, another pops open from the vacuum. I was watching it go on the other day, and the manager comes along. I asked him about it, and he said they weren't working out well, and he was thinking of replacing them!! Can you guess what my next question was???????????????

SET those EGGS!

It is just a TEST! If you don't want the babies because you don't know who is who.... then sell the chicks on craigslist.

This is just to determine if the machine is working!

Thanks Lisa! I plan to set indeed. I really don't want to risk it and end up having a crappy first real hatch because I didn't test out the turners and well, any other functions in the incubator for that matter.

I am just getting caught up on today's postings and seeing that others advised you to do the same....
I've got one more chicken show to go to - - NEWNAN Ga. for me this year!
When I get back, I am setting eggs. . .

Until then, I will just have to restrain myself!
