    What kind of duck?

    Is this a Welsh Harlequin?

    Bantams Hatch Early

    It probably was. She was hatching from the pointy end. If you read the previous post you will see that the turner didn’t get turned off until she started piping. She never got a chance to settle properly. Oh well. I have recently started calculating survival rate to be 44%. There are 6 eggs in...

    Bantams Hatch Early

    I’m not surprised she died this morning but I’m surprised that I am so utterly pissed about it. On a positive note. I came home to a new Buff Orpington that hatched all on his own on the correct side of the egg.

    Bantams Hatch Early

    I definitely don’t get attached to chickens anymore. She is about 21 hours old now and still alive. She has strong lungs and a healthy chirp. She has a goofy walk that I don’t like all that much. She is uglier than snot but that’s probably because she is a silkie hybrid. She’s got patchy...

    Bantams Hatch Early

    About two hours old when that video was taken. She is 14 hours old right now and still alive.

    Bantams Hatch Early

    Yes. I know the difference between a bantam egg and a chicken egg now.

    Bantams Hatch Early

    This didn’t turn out good but I learned something from this hatch. Bantams hatch early! I did something this time around that I never ever do. I helped this chick hatch. After an investigation inside the egg and knowing what went wrong it was the right thing to do. So this was a game changer. I...

    Bantams Hatch Early

    13 hours after the first pip and this is what I see: Waiting is a breeze those first 3 weeks. Those last hours are most brutal. This chick is slow slow slow. Your mind is always racing there at the end. Luckily I do hear it chirping. The good news is that there is nothing I can do one way or...

    Day 21 still no pips

    How did it go? I’m assuming not good.

    Dry hatch standard chicken eggs

    It’s a balancing act but I found too dry is much less risk than too much humidity. As a matter of fact I have never heard of an 100% dry hatch go wrong. Just err on the side of not enough if you are not sure of the perfect balance. Less water is better in my observation.

    Should I give them more time?

    I’ve never had a late hatch. If the egg doesn’t hatch on day on 21 I personally don’t think it will ever hatch. Others may have a late hatch experience. I have never seen it.

    Bantam hatching eggs

    Lol. When I grew up in Alabama everybody pronounced it Banty.

    Bantams Hatch Early

    Hey guys. I was just checking my incubator today. I made fun of myself and thought, “I don’t know what I really expect to see.” Boy was I wrong. One of the eggs started hatching early. I’m glad I checked so I could take the turner out. After looking on the internet I found out that bantams...

    44th Edition SOP still not available through the APA website

    That’s not the definition of a scam. That’s normal supply and demand. These things are hard to come by. They are worth several hundred dollars. Just not to me.

    44th Edition SOP still not available through the APA website

    The most recent edition I have found is 2015. I have seen them in the past for $59 and I thought that was high. I now know that was a really good deal. Unless you want an extremely old and irrelevant edition they cost in the hundreds of dollars. I’m glad I found this discussion. I didn’t know a...

    Fantasy Eight Breed Cross

    I’m just surprised that nobody has ever had this fantasy. The creation of super hybridized mutant sounds like an intriguing project to me. I wouldn’t do it. I just thought it was an unoriginal idea. I expected more participation.

    Fantasy Eight Breed Cross

    Someone told me that a Plymouth Barred Rock Bantam is a heavy layer of small eggs. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Fantasy Eight Breed Cross

    Oh yeah. It would definitely be a hybrid.

    Worst Breeds You've Had

    I did buy some black Cochin bantams. They were freaking beautiful but I just can’t do the feathered leg thing. They stayed filthy several days after a rain. I can’t say they were my worst breed but they are low on my list.
