Sweet.

Here's my Marans babies, due the 16th. - With of course Jersey Giants, Ameraucanas, and possibly expecting my EEs and Polish to hatch. Possibly.

I know I know. . . I LOVE taking egg photos.

Quick question for you guys. I'm gonna be setting some marans around the 9th or 10th. I've heard they are a little different to hatch. Any advice for a first time marans hatcher?


Good gracious Illia you have beautiful eggs!!!!

Thanks.

Tell that to Wynette too.

As for hatching, my last hatch was my first for Marans, and my advice would be to set humidity kinda normal - Mine was around 45-50%. As for lockdown, I don't change humidity at all, maybe up it 5%, but on hatch day I take it to 65%

Oh, and I'm not sure if this goes for most people - But my Marans usually don't hatch until day 22-23.

As of yesterday I have 16 pretty little eggies for the batormonster. I am going to collect today and tomorrows eggs and then set. Will post egg pics when I'm finished collecting.

Everybody ready?

Oh hey.......WHERE'S DROM? I think she needs to try out that new bator again since she did a very fine job with it the first time.

Okay PEEPS, I just set 25 Marans eggs and 5 B/B/S Ameraucana eggs for hatch on 4/21.

It's a little crowded right now until tomorrow morning when the 13 Barnevelder eggs on the left go into lockdown.
