I bought them in UK on 07.02.08 and got them in Italy 13.02.08. Perhaps the next time I should pay attention to bid on Monday, so I don't have a weekend which delays the shipping.


OrpingtonIncub.jpgI repeated the same procedure as for the Maran eggs. In this case the result was very bad. From 12 incubated eggs only 1 chicken was born

On the 14.01.2008 I bided for "6 French copper blue maran eggs" from ebay seller luckysi36 for 12 UK pound sterling, all together 30 Euro included shipping. The description said: "They lay a good size, almost chocolate brown egg. I have 4 french copper black hens (which have well feathered legs)with a french copper splash cockerel, these will hatch 100% copper blue chicks, unlike blue / blue or blue / black matings which only produce 50% blue birds. All my birds are now fed on specialist breeder pellets".

I got them on the 21.01.2008 and started incubating them on the 22.01.2008.

On the 22.01.2008 at 7:00 I started the incubation with my "Covatutto 24 Eco" from Novital set at 37.5 ºC (99.5 ºF).

After 21 days 3 chicken were born. The other 3 eggs, only one had an almost formed chicken. The success rate is 3 born of 6 incubated.

Here they are on the 23-02-2008. All 3 are different and the one with brown head is growing faster.
