It is a Marans.. Surviving will mean a 50% hatch from the shipped eggs, which may explain my bullheadedness.Try a little warm water. Becky does that. It seems to work for her. Is that the marns? We've had that happen to them before.

I just love roosters and he is gorgeous! Neighbors dogs are the worst! I know how you feel. You could never replace him by getting another one. He will always be the unique in your heart so that is not replacing. It may help ease the pain of losing him if you did get another Phoenix though. We lost our Red Star named Rox Star last year. She was really something. She would help me dig for worms and talk to me the whole time I was cleaning the coop. She had something wrong with her that caused her to be an internal layer which resulted in her getting an infection. I will be getting more like her in the future but they will never replace her.My boy. Hes a phoenix. Sadly lost last year. To the neighbors stupid dog!!!. Everyday he's missed. I thought on getting another one. But I can't replace him. Becky and I rescued him n two hens he was in little chicken cages . Two years everyday hearing him crow. Eating carrots . Being his goofy self. I miss him . We raise them outta love for them .
I tried some eBay eggs ... I too will not be doing that again. They were shipped in a bubble envelope. That's right ... Soft sided packaging. And the egg carton BARELY fit in it. She was surprised that eggs broke. Der. Out of the eggs from that shipment and her replacement shipment combined I have 3 chicke. That's out of 25 total shipped. Nothing else survived shipping or never started.Wonder y maran eggs do that? Curoiusty has hit. Good luck with that. I learned last year don't buy eggs on ebay for me. I had one explode in my face it was wrotten n none hatched. They where marans too.
