Wow! You did great! Sounds like there's hope then. I decided to go ahead with the turner on and hoping for the best. I'll check them after 24 hrs then decide from there how to proceed depending on what I find. Fingers crossed 🤞

Thank you. How did your hatch end up? I had low expectations going into this and bought an abundance of eggs in hopes that at least a few of each would make it. I just didn't think so many would be affected. Not the breeders fault at all they were packed well just way to much rough handling by...

Hi peepers experts! I've spent hours sorting the forums here and other online info sites trying to get some good information but I'm still feeling stuck. I have 3 sets of shipped eggs from different locations that were all the victims of USPS. 2 of them I set last evening after letting rest for...

Thank you for the advice, I will need to check my whelping supplies to see if I have any unopened betadine on hand or not. She's so tiny I really don't want to cause more harm by applying something I shouldn't. 🤕

Could/ should I apply clorhexedine solution?

I've got five almost week old chics and when I just went to check on and clean their brood box I noticed my little welbar baby has a bloody head! There's a couple drops of blood on the floor. It's a fresh injury and I think maybe someone pecked her. She's acting completely normal, waking around...

Will do, thanks so much!

Sorry, don't mean to hijack OPs thread, but I'm having a similar situation, except I belive mine is due to my bird just beginning to lay. I have 6 hens also but only once have gotten 6 eggs in a day. They all started laying separate times as they are Different breeds and a couple weeks apart in...

Wonderful! Thank you both for the very detailed and quick explanation, much appreciated.

Thank you so much for the info! So if I understand correctly, if I go blue birchen route, only resulting roos will be barred/Cuckoo with 50/50 on the base core being black or blue? Hens would be solid blue or black for the most part, is that right? So I can determine sex based on barring or no...

Are there any Marans experts out there that can help me with color genetics questions? I currently have two French Cuckoo Marans hens and am looking to add a few unsexed chicks for either Blue Birchen or Black Copper. I'm ok with any roos as I'd like to have one for flock protection and for...

My goodness what an adorable bunch of fluffballs!

I don't belive there's a way to get darker eggs from these same birds unfortunately.

Hi there! While I don't see a specific question I'll assume you are wanting to know why the variance in leg feathering and egg colors in the offspring of your original flock of Marans. I've got two French Cuckoo Marans and in my Marans breed research prior to getting them, learned two things...

Aww, peanut butter is such a pretty girl! I'm going to guess she'll be a blue egg layer :D

I think one hen would be very lonely? Is getting her a friend or two not an option?

Oh wonderful! I was really rooting for that last one! 9 of 12 for shipped eggs is a number I'd be happy with too. I agree the dark blue is just gorgeous and muffs are adorable. I've got two wtb pullets, one is a very dark gray with black head clean face and gorgeous dark steel color legs. Her...

Awww yay! Looks like you had a pretty decent hatch rate, and good variety of colors too! :jumpy

I wish I could offer some advice but all i have is just virtual hugs and best wishes that she recovered fully and quickly. I'm just a newbie to chickens and so sorry to hear you are going through this. 😟:hugs

Love this!!! These pics make my day😍
