Black Copper Marans Hatching Eggs​

We incubate at 99.5°F and 55% humidity, and typically achieve a 75–85% hatch rate from the Marans. Hatching eggs from this breed can present some challenges. The deep pigmentation of black copper marans hatching eggs​ makes it difficult to see the developing embryo during candling. Black copper marans eggs for sale​ shells also tend to be thicker than those of other breeds, which can slightly delay hatch times or cause some chicks to struggle when pipping. We recommend keeping your eggs in the incubator through day 22 or 23 to allow every chick time to hatch!
