I have a Black Copper Maran hen setting on 5 eggs (3 BCM and 2 BCM/black sexlink x) since 3/28 in the evening when she came in she got on the nest and has stayed there since. I counted 21 days to be 4/18 which was Sunday. Monday am one of the sexlink x chicks hatched and nothing since. So today is day 24, no pipping or chirping from the eggs. Do the marans take longer to hatch? What are the odds the others will hatch out? I figure I will give them a few more days since the hen doesnt seem to be looking to get off the nest. The new chick is eating and drinking and doing well so far. Getting anxious hoping to get a few more marans so hope they are viable.
