So my beloved guinea pig died yesterday however my niece was looking through the chicken book and has decided we should get baby chicken. So my question is can you hatch eggs in a bed of straw and a heat lamp in the cage?

I am hopefully getting a new chickalita today same age and breed. We have told mia that the current chickalita is going to stay with aunty lous friend as he needs to be a friend to a lonely chicken. Once my pal has hatched some eggs he's gonna hang onto them so we get 2 girls and they are going...
I'm just waiting on the guy getting back to me about another.explained to my niece that there's a lonely chicken as my pal wants him. (He's promised we can have him back to rehome ourselves if he couldn't keep him but hes a breeder so he probably will) so promised mia if we get paxo a new friend...
So i took more photos of my wee guys today and i think i will have to face facts that my wee white hen is a he! The one at the back is shy so hard for photos.
Ok so I had a look and I didn't realise just how different they were. so have arranged for chickalita to go back to the breeder today and swap for another chickalita hopefully my niece won't notice but here's some pictures hope my theory of pick one with the same comb as paxo works chicalita...
Morning guys. Would appear I have to take one of my bantams back to the breeder as she is a he! And we cant have cockrals he has kindly said he will swap it though xxx

I've messaged the guy a got them from to see if he has any other white chickens and try and get a hen as my 4 year old niece picked "shim" and will be devestated if I move him on. I don't even want to tempt my neighbours into complaining xxx
Uhho was afraid of that as my niece picked that one and she's besotted by it not sure I can keep a cockral was so convinced of a hen too as it's so chilled and quiet will try better pictures tomorrow as this one makes the wee white one look different again
Ooh my hubby is strict on animal numbers he cut my horse count off at 8 so I think we will have chicken maths under control however I do really like what i call Kellogg chickens. I recently found these are called white stars lol xxx
