Anyone have half a dozen Marans fertile hatching eggs they would be willing to part with? Looking to add more color to my egg basket and I figure darker is eye catching. Would rather have some local than shipped. Thanks.

I've seen some recently posted on Craigslist. I just searched and the posting is gone though.

I have B/B/S French (mostly Copper) Marans... you can PM me if you're interested. I've had 100% fertility on my hatches here.

Need to process some young roos. And 3-4 hens. I can't do it myself just not yet. Someone had an ad on cl in the east county but I can't find it now. Hoping to find some one closer. I'll pay you per bird or split the meat halfway. Need to thin out the main flock to make way for selective breeding and new additions. Built new pens, 2 to go.

Cleaned out the coop yesterday. Good feeling. Piled it up for addition to the garden. Can't wait to plant this year.

Itching for chicks my current babies are 2 months old and look like little hens already!

How many do you have to process?

Had anyone ever hatched eggs from a homemade incubator without a ventilarion fan?

Sure, you only need a fan if you have the eggs on more then one level.

Hi Jucknath, Welcome from Julian! Are you a processor? Done it once, wasn't my favorite thing to do, but at least I know I can.
