Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

[Krys109uk]

Goodness, Onthespot...what a problem. Sounds like the goose eggs might have been incubated differing amounts of time. If one is very dark with huge air sac sounds like it is/was about there.

With goose eggs at about four days, with a good egg lume, one can just see like a sort of circle mark in the yolk with a darker rim & perhaps a little dot.

Good luck

Anyone want to guess the sex of my cuckoo marans? I want pullets. At least two. Just so you know what to guess. LOL.

Please don't say they are all roos!

My guess is that the second from the left *might* be a pullet, and the fourth is a pullet.

Actually, a lot of araucanas have tails. It's just one of the many challenges of breeding araucanas.

yes, but those have muffs, which araucana don't have

Details, details....

In my very humble opinion this is the hardest age to tell... chick down is usualy pretty easy to pick out... and a little older get you some pre-adult feathers that are a good hint as well as some comb development in the cockerels... but I have a terrible time at this age if I haven't already sorted them out... Hope somebody else is better at it.
