Wrath's Marans

You are correct, my friend. I'm not looking forward to wasting those big lovely speckles to check fertility, I'll collect for a couple more days before setting them, tho.
Those speckled genetics are just getting ready to reappear in more pullets… one ‘wasted’ speckled egg could be 600 more over the years.
 
Sad news this morning.. W/R passed away overnight. She's been battling something respiratory I believe and we've had her separated while we try to get her feeling better, but lost the battle. I had some names picked out for the banded girls but hadn't designated them yet. So with that, she is forever Doro and resting comfortably next to Joannie now, hopefully at peace. She gave me lots of beautiful eggs and I've got 4 of her little ones growing big, so I'm happy in that. View attachment 4200083View attachment 4200073View attachment 4200090View attachment 4200091
What a beautiful send off you gave her.❤️

She had a decent amount of time back in the flock between weaning and her first egg back so I'm hopeful the fertility is there. I'll keep collecting and hopefully get another hatch besides this one before the cold weather really sets in.

Here I thought I was done hatching for the year.....pffft.
 
Dedication....I'll give you that.
