Leghorn
Reviewed by Chicken Goddess

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

I set 4 bantum eggs last nite at 11pm. The temps went up to about 105 today for about an hour before I caught it. Will the high temps hurt, kill the developing embro at this early stage?

It is always possible but only being an hour, things should be OK. You will know in 7 days. You can candle them to see if they are developing.

TIME is the best thing to spend on a child!
Always calibrate your hygrometer before you incubate!!

Thanks, will be keeping my fingers crossed. I have 2 bantam hens and finally got enough eggs to set. Both have already gone brody. Both back in Jan and Feb but didn't sit on their eggs, they set on the other hens eggs. So this is my first try at some bantams.
