Did you breed for sex-links? Otherwise, with small chicks, you can't tell by color.

This little beauty is destined for its new home in Salem on Wednesday along with some other little pretties. Wish these eggies luck as this will be my very first batch of Marans eggs ever shipped. I'm soooooooooo nervous about shipping them.

edited to say Thanks!

Good luck eggie, you're quite the beauty!

Pinkchick, isn't it like shipping off your first babies?

"what if they don't make it, what if they don't hatch well. . "

It's a no brainer... I have shipped test eggies... I have found that bubble wrap each one double.. and be careful to space them in the box and use packing peanuts.... I have never had any break....(I also stuff the corners with brown paper....They will be fine!!! Congrats on your shipping...anyone we know???? (BYCER??)

Awesome on your student!!! I ventured out of my comfort-zone (hunter) and went to watch a cutting show! Neat horses with harsh bits. No gaming found yet, but I'm looking!

So sorry about your birds! I hope the one gets better! My ill-one is back to being wry again. Vitamins and all. I am thinking she will be culled tonight if no improvement today.

Ok. I'll take the hint as well and leave my six week olds alone for the time being. I'm tellin' ya though, I'm having a very hard time accepting the idea that these roos could possibly be anything else but!
Pink Chick that egg is gorgeous! Sounds like Geebs knows how to pack an egg.

I'd even buy eggs from someone that packed them that well and I've had bad luck with shipped eggs!
