I have a question about the size of bantam hens and egg size.I have one black mutt hen that I have had about 1 year.She lays fairly well.I have a roo and 2 hens I hatched from her last year.These "mutt" bantams are small.But I'm not real sure how small they really are.I also have 4 purebred...
Wow,I finally got caught up on most of the latest posts.Whew.I just love seeing all the pictures of these baby birds.Congrats to all that got babies.And sooo sorry to read about the ones that didn't make it.I think it happens to all of us that try and hatch,sometimes we have great success and...
I haven't been able to keep up with all these posts.LOL.I tried for awhile yesterday and last night but just couldn't keep up with who had what hatching and when.I signed up just to be "hatching along" with everyone else,not even trying to win anything.It is so exciting to read about all the...

I have 3 young pullets(5-6 months old)in with a 18 month old roo.The hens started laying about 3 weeks ago.These are their first eggs,well first 36 eggs anyway.I know the hens are young,but shouldn't there be more than 3 eggs fertile if my rooster is doing his job?I have hatched some eggs from...
