Wrath's Marans

[2ndTink]

Just for lockdown, all eggs are seperated by their Dam.

Maticoopx... 14 Copper (BCM) are loose.
Nr360... 7 Christy (F1OE) are loose.
3 BC1OE in hatching bag.
Brinsea... 8 W/W (BCM) are loose.
*Hatching bags*
7 Raven (BCM)
4 Lil Jessie (BCM)
2 (BC1OE)
3 Black (MMM or BCM?)
I sold all Coppers and W/W pullets so needed more as well as more from Raven, Lil Jessie and the OEs because of course.
Christy is in with Poppy so this could finally tell me if he's hiding Black or Blue, and only have Lil Black from Black with the weird leakage but lays a dark egg that is suspecting Black may be an MMM. This may confirm or confuse me more.
Didn't take a pic of Brinsea at lockdown, running complete dry hatch, only candled roughly 1/2 the eggs at lockdown and left all of them in...because lazy.
Approximately 20 are sold so this keeps my records accurate for what I'm keeping especially if we see any headspots at hatch.

'Professional'....that's a hoot. I'm more in the 'Baffled' category.

The 360 low temp alarm went off this morning...temp has dropped and won't go back up. The wife saved the day and we got the eggs moved into the other 2 bators.
In the process we hear peeps a going.

And just so we're clear, I can't recall ever saying I'm officially ready for winter. In fact...I would be more apt to be correct saying I'm still 3 years behind.

The kids in Kings coop are out playing in the snow.
Interesting development has occured over the last few days. The littles here are 7 weeks now, Silly the SLW who normally is a bully and I've never been a fan of her or the breed because of it...has now started co parenting the littles with the BA. She follows them everywhere around the property and we witnessed her tidbitting them yesterday. We've never had any coparenting here, let alone start at this age. I've only read about others coparenting at hatch and help raising.
