What a great shot. I love to see a broody with chicks. Nothing more natural. I have a banty buff Japanese sitting on 8 eggs and they are due to hatch on Tuesday! Cant wait to see them....
Congrats

Mine have all been bantam eggs and they always seem to pip before day 21. My last hatch (which was 2 days ago)one pipped on day 19 and was hatched by day 20. The other egg piped on day 20 and hatched on day 21.
I do believe that bantie eggs hatch a little sooner than standard sizes chickens...
