If you goto my site http://james.au.pn/ and click incubator it will list what I used to make my cardboard incubator. if you have any questions just send me a message and i will help.
I would say that is too many. Do you have a incubator? I would put the extra's in the incubator. I have bantam cochin hen that takes care of 13 chicks. 9 LF breeds and 4 silkies and they all get under her. She only was setting on 6 eggs and the rest I hatched out in my incubator.
I have an LF EE Hen and a bantam mix cochin rooster. Well, the LF EE hen's eggs are fertile and I wondering if the size difference between the two would be an issue when it comes to incubating the eggs.. I have set 3 of her eggs to see if they will start to develop.
Thanks, James
Anyone hatching some White Face Black Spanish?!?! Just got my new hovabator and it's killing as it sits empty waiting! I might also have a broody hen... I am hoping anyways!!
I had one hatch that was super small compared to the others and she is still smaller then the others. She take a few days before she was up and walking and eating. Just give it some time. Mine is a blue black splash.. She was as dark as yours. Such a cutie!!
