    Chicks dying Day 18/19 - genetics?

    I'm currently trying to hatch offspring of my young japanese bantam couple and encountering reoccuring problems on day 18/19 .

    4 years ago I fell for mottled bantams, the tiny colorful Japanese mille-fleur bantam to be precise... I saw them sold in a near village but I arrived too late and all mottled ones were already sold. I went home with a wheaten rooster (apparently offspring of the mottled one - and yeah, I was...
