Since I'm still new and all, I decided to look up Black Copper Marans. What are they?

I just found out a boatload of great info and they are hard to find.
Here is a link that got me started in learning and hope you can find something close by. Not sure if a pure breed french standard is your goal or not. Read the whole website it's awesome.

Thank you for responding to me. I will check out the information and I do want to buy from a breeder rather than a hatchery. That way I can see the parent birds and pick good breeding pairs,

Nan, I need to come out one day and see how you use incubator. As I said, all these thigns are new to me. Have a good one.

I went to Mt Hope the other day, got tons of groceries, chesse and made friend with an Amish family to stay there if I ever need to do during the exotice event.

I would love to see various things they bring in.

Hi, guys!

I'm in Alexandria, just west of Granville. We go up to Mt. Hope once a month, to buy organic feed from Maysville Elevator and stock up on meat and cheese from Mt. Hope Health. Where do you shop? And what's with the exotics? I went to the Mt. Hope flea market for years, skipped a few years, and went this spring. It was an auction now! Do they still have an exotics flea market?

If you're near Alexandria, stop by!

Oh, I saw earlier a discussion of prices. I'm charging $2.50. A woman from a co-op needs 70 dozen by this weekend, and is calling everyone.

An incubator is fairly simple to use. Collect your fertile eggs, which you can store at room temperature for up to 10 days. Store them fat side up. Get your incubator up to temp for 48 hours. Plop your eggs in them and forget about them for 7 days. 1st timers through about 3 hatches will candle every day..... it's fun. Candle after 7 days. Candling is fairly simple as well. take a box, cut a hole that you can lay an egg on, put a flashlight it it and go to a dark place. Don't worry about the eggs cooling, a hen does get off her eggs to eat and drink. You have a solid 20 minute window in my experience. Throw out non viable eggs. They can and do explode causing a stinky mess. put them back and forget about them for another week. Re candle. Day 18 add water to bring up humidity. Wait for hatch. If heat was a little high they will hatch on day 20, if low 22 days, average about 21 days. Once they pip, sometimes it takes them 12 hours to hatch. After day 18 do not remove the lid, this is when they are most fragile.

Enjoy.

BTW, if anyone ever get the urge, my farm is in Coshocton and we love visitors, so come on out, learn, teach, share ideas, thoughts, fellowship. Our doors are always open.
