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

[amazondoc]

Jeff had a very pretty pullet.

I have a ton of show photos. I've been working on them this evening. In the next day or two I'll have them posted on the club's web site. Stay Tuned!

the suro came in and i placed 21 wheaten marans eggs in and many eggs are old as 16 days or so in it .and some are fresh so il see how it works the thing is holding temp
to with in 2 tenths but the humidity is high about 60 right now because i blew water threw this clear tube thats drips on a sponge in front of the fan ..but i set it for 35 . il post some pics . i am sure some of the eggs are to old to hatch but il try anyway..... looks like a nice incubator holds around 24 eggs tight (marans eggs ). it would be tight if they all hatched but im not that lucky

Nice!

Do you think it will be easy to clean?
Does the electronic top part come away from the rest of it?
A smooth plastic surface has to be easier to clean than the styro baters.

Good luck with your hatch!

Very cool

Thanks for sharing Berkeleyspgs. Hope you will continue to post updates as the hatch progresses. I know there's a section for Incubation and hatching, but it seems like the Marans eggs are a little trickier than others to hatch, so information on your settings (humidity), candling, hatch rate and your pictures are all helpful pieces of information for some of us.

You know, I think it's a Firefox thing, but your URLs always send me to the Direct Nic home page. I don't know what the specific issue is, but Firefox doesn't know how to reach you. It's not my service provider-I can get to you with Explorer. It might be a DNS issue. Normally, DNS resolution is a service provider thing, but you might want to send Firefox an email. Don't know if others are having the same issue as I am though.
