Thanks! We are both pretty fowl-addicted now! LOL It all began with 4H......lol They started laying a month ago and went from 4's to now 6's. I'll have to get some pics of them too. I'd heard they were not good layers, but we get an egg from each one every 30 hours without fail. I even cut scratch into their layer pellets to try and slow them down.


It's going to take me a LONG time to read this whole thread, but here I go!!!

Nice to see all the marans!
 
aalbury~ Thanks!
Yep...Blue Copper and Splash are my favs and I keep the Black Coppers for the breeding program and to help keep the blue more crisp and clearer and also for egg color. I hatch them out all of the time.....it's an addiction that I never want to get help for!

I haven't hatched any marans yet! I'm dying now that my eggs are getting in the 6 range, but they're pullets! Do you raise the humidity higher?

I raise the humidity at lockdown from 40% to about 50% or 55%, many peeps raise the humidity even higher for their Marans but this is what works for me.
