We thought about starting some hatching but that is as far as we have gotten. DH is hoping someone will go broody so we don't have to work at chicks. Depending upon when it is and life here, we might hatch some eggs that would be either pure blue/black marans or marans/aurcana: either dark or olive eggers.
To be honest, I wish my pullets eggs from last year's breeding were darker and I don't feel like selling marans that aren't as dark as I'd like.
DD sold some cochin banties last year but lost a lot of her hens over the past season to hawks and such. She got a new selection from a hatchery and will need a year or two to refine her breeding stock before she is ready to sell again.
So unless someone really wants these breeds under these conditions, I don't think we'll be selling this year.
