I started a picture thread if you haven't seen...👍 I'm trying to keep up with pics there with so much to do and not enough time in the day.

Cute pics... That first pic is adorable. I've been calling them BBS but I guess the correct term might be BBS Silver. There should be Black Silver, Blue Silver, Splash and possibly White Marans in these eggs. I'm super excited for these to get hatched..
I don't let my Marans run with the mixed...
Sorry to hear.. hope you get your run done before you leave. I'm under the gun to get the coop bigger, myself.
I have 10 chicks with the 2 broodys, 5 a piece. One more broody due to hatch next week but them are shipped eggs.
That's great to hear and I understand we do get attached especially after an injury or illness, I've been saying all along I'm not sure if I'm cut out to be breeder, I get attached to all of them 🤣 ...and Magic is stunning, he's got a lot going on with all those colors and barring. ♥️
Do these...
I'm in the same boat, cattle corn across the street, alternating corn, soy on one side and behind. With 2 neighbors on the last side, closest has 4 ankle biters fenced in so birds don't go in there. I've only been here a year and this is the year for corn and need to keep the birds out of the...
I didn't mean for that to sound condescending. Sorry it sounded that way. More meant how your dog looks like the neighbors and I can see how she would think it wasn't a threat and feeding the birds on the fence line. Like a perfect storm, so to speak.
Oh man, sorry to hear about your girl. Hopefully she recovers fully. She looks pretty good in that last pic for what she went thru, but I know they hide it well. Sardines and tuna in water are super good for them in need if you didn't know... 👍
And of course the babies are cuteness x 1000 !! ♥️

My limited knowledge is all...
Yes it really does.....it gets even better when one of your hens that you raised goes broody and hatches her own.
That's funny tho, the wife let's our mixed flock in the house also. They come knocking at the slider for blueberries 🤣
Awesome hatch so far...
I don't recall if you said what incubator you got? I like the view tho.
I'm partial to black myself, that's pretty much every shirt I wear cuz every other color just turns black anyways...🤣
But anyways I love seeing the Marans flock out, all black flock roaming the yard...
Hopefully your Marans are just late hatching. And good call taking notes, I'm trying to take more notes also, but man...it's hard. Life is just too busy...
