Wrath's Marans

We have a new egg today, I didn't catch who layed it but pretty sure it's Headspot.

And egg lick tax...

Added 1 final egg from Momma to P/G today. Lots of speckles...

Any tips for candleing the darker marans eggs? Also, do you candle eggs that a broody has been sitting on or just leave her be?

Get the brightest light you can, but its still hard to see thru the dark eggs. I built my own so I'm using a 5k led bulb, but I'm pretty lazy when it comes to candling. I just candled a few of Solos eggs under Angel with 4/5 days to go and found most developing.

My candler I built with a non fertile dark egg.

One of Solos eggs today.
