some times they are very hard to hatch i usually go 45 percent humidity till lock down than 62 percent and yes wheaten marans are hard for some reason . i think its mostly fertility of roos .. just rest the eggs for a day whan you get them . id sudgest not candeling them every two seconds but thats just me... there is a dry hatch method but iv never tried it..
I took your Advice Randy and had an amazing hatch.
Bargain shipped me 12 eggs, I dropped one so just had 11 to set. 10 out of the 11 hatched. Not bad for shipped eggs!! They turned 2 weeks old this morning. Now, If I understand this thread, the ones with darker wings are cockerels?? If that is the case I think 4 or maybe 5 of them are boys. It was impossible to get good pics with everyones head showing... The 1 out of place black chick is my 4 year old Granddaughters "lucky egg". She collects the eggs, inspects and talks to each one then picks a lucky to add every time I set eggs.
So this would be boy and girl?? You can see Lucky poking her black head up in the background.
I am in love with these little golden fluff balls!!
wonderful news on your hatch bargain must have some very good roosters yes it looks like you have a hen and a rooster in that picture. it seems to me that the hens feather and quicker than the roosters
