I was really hoping so too, but this is day 22, mama is up off the eggs a LOT since she has two babies. I should have taken the flashlight out last night and candled them, at day 18 everything seemed to be good, although we know the marans eggs are harder to see through. I have 4 eggs left in there, an E7A, a Lav AM and 2 marans eggs. No pips, no indications they're going to pip. I tried holding them up to my ear and can hear nothing happening inside. I'll give them till tomorrow, then I'll be either taking the chicks from mama, or moving them to the pen. The RIR and Orps were some I wanted for myself, hoping they turn out to be hensI hope your maran hatches, mine didn't, so make sure you let us know if it does.
