Happy Hatching!!!!
Marans are one of our favorite breeds!!! Not only are they a beautiful bird but their eggs are spectacular!! Finding these chocolate 🍫 🥚 are always a gem!!! For our marans, we have a small flock of black copper hens crossed with a black copper rooster. Every season we work to improve our hens egg colors by hatching and raised for our own flock! This is a commitment to bettering the pigment in our breeding pens. Our roosters and hens were hatched here and came from quality dark eggs(see last picture)! We only use those marans Roos as their genetics are the best we have!!!
Hatching Eggs are a gamble. We do regularly test for fertility but cannot control what happens when leaving our farm. Specifically Marans have very thick shells! The extra thickness helps protect the eggs, making them less prone to cracking. This trait was historically valued in France, where Marans eggs were often shipped long distances without refrigeration, staying fresher for longer.
However there is a downside, this thick shell can also make hatching a challenge. If you are not skilled at hatching or do not have a quality incubator I would recommend you choose chicks instead. The hard shells create a tough barrier for chicks to break through, meaning that even healthy embryos can sometimes struggle to pip and fully emerge. Monitoring humidity levels closely during incubation to give these hardy eggs the best chance to hatch successfully is very important and many incubators had extreme humidity fluctuations. This can create difficulty in the hatching process! If you have questions please reach out and we can explain more!
