    what breed are these bantam chicks?

    thank you! I do think I got a nice assortment. I wish I had a few more of that black hen, the yellow one and the little bearded speckled one though. I am thinking about breeding them with my little mille fleur/leghorn roo and see what I get.

    need help - egg close to hatch missing shell

    the chicks seem to all be normal and strong. I was worried about them being crushed from being under mom with no shell but they are well. I am so happy because I wanted some more mille fleurs so bad. They have a leghorn mom so I wonder what they will look like and what color eggs they will lay.
