I'm not sure it's pretty beat up. It has a strong man on the label. I can't see much more than that. And no, I wasn't foolin' around. I learned about the Marans and dedided that I have to breed them. It might cost me but it will be worth it!

Just wanted to give an update.
Bought 25 eggs but received 31 total! (shipped)
24 went into lockdown.
20 have hatched, 4 still in bator.
Thanks to everone for your help on my first hatch!!

Thanks SteveH I was glad to give good news! It has been a long three weeks!
I ordered black copper marans. And three of the eggs that were extra (that made it) are blue coppers!

Tomorrow nite at 8 will be 21 days for my three eggs left at lockdown. I went to check temperatures before going out for final check of the outside chickens and gather the late eggs............................................. THERE'S A CHICK IN THE BATOR!!!!!!!!!!

I saw no signs of a pip earlier, so wasn't expecting that.

WAHOO!!!

My lone chick is still unpipped. We set at the same time if I remember correctly (and why is it that I can't even remember what I ate for lunch but I can remember that detail?!).

Unfortunately I'm hoping that it doesn't hatch, but of course I'll be head over heels if it does.

That is great news!

I think I am a day behind you. I see no pips. No nothing. Only about half even made it to the hatcher. Maybe I will get something yet.
