    For me about 9 to 10 weeks give or take a little bit. Mine have been starting around 24 weeks old. A lot depends in what breed or breeds you have some take a little longer some not quite as long.

    If the Polish was a drizzle then it would be a Sizzle. Otherwise just a crossbred.

    I need to make correction. I stated that I had chicks hatching on day 19, well I refigured it is actually day 20. Still though it is a day early, 5 so far.
