Is this a bantam or standard??? I had another salmon faverolle hatch while I was at work but it looks allot smaller then the others. Could I have gotten a bantam egg mixed in with my standards? Or is he just a runt?

Quote: Those chickies are lovely. Congrats! I forgot are those LF (Standard sized) or Bantam Favs? Standards, they are smaller then the mixed breeds that hatched with them but they are standards. I have 7 now, another hatched over night.

UPDATE, 6 favs, 7 mixed, including 1 turkin. There are 12 eggs left in the bator. It really stinks! But I still hear peeping. Is that just from where the others hatched?

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!! 11 so far! I think I have 3 faverelles!!!!!!! I had 13 fav eggs I bought and 13 mixed home flock, the first 8 to hatch were all the mixed, but now it looks like the favs are making an entrance! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/my-first-hatch

fingers crossed. The egg that had piped before lockdown is peeping. There maybe hope yet. This is my second attempt at hatching, first try Igot 2 out of 18 but I learned alot and got my hydrometer calibrated. So hard to go to work with peeping at home.

Lock down today. BUT when I took the eggs from the turner and placed them on the wire I noticed 2 pips. But no signs of life. What does this mean? why would they pip early and is the whole batch doomed??? I have been very good about leaving the bator alone and doing a pretty much dry incubation.

doesn't the temp drop dramatically when you candle the eggs? Should I get the room really hot before opening?

I just started the bator with 13 favs (purchased) and 13 mixed (home flock) eggs. High hopes for some favs! I don'tknow if any of the mixed are fertile, I saved the largest eggs for about a week to put in. I think they are from my 2 langshan hens but I have never seen my roo pay them any...
