I really do have enough chicks this spring...I really do. Buuuut, I just started raising Old English Game Bantams. I have a pair of silver duckwings. That hen hatched out 3. My little roo was then so lonely that I bought 4 OEGB hens that I have not identified to keep him company. They got comfortable very fast and started laying. Ive been getting 3 a day for a few days. I cracked one and they are fertile. Ive been saving the eggs in a little wine refrigerator. The temperature holds pretty steady at 53.5 degrees. I have 15 eggs right now. Now I have a big ole' fluffy Buff Orpington that went broody. I set her up in a broody pen on some glass eggs. If she's holding tight I'm putting all my OEGB eggs under her. That should be 18 eggs. They are between 8 days old to fresh. Anyone else try anything similar, I'd like to know your results. I'll keep you posted and take pictures as things develop.
