Bantam Incubation, how many days?

[sojeo]

I have 9 eggs in the bator, 8 regular and 1 banty. Everything going well until yesterday. My little bantam egg hasn't shown any movement since yesterday. I mean none at all. I fear that he is dead

. I didn't know until today that they have a shorter incubation period. Is it 18 days? When do I stop turning for them if I get more in the future? Today is day 16. All the rest are doing fine and I am hoping for some success as this is my very first hatch!

They are the same as a normal chicken..21 days

That's what I thought at first and then I read a post saying that it was shorter. Thanks for the info. I am still fearing that it has quit, but am leaving it in the bator just incase.

I had no idea hatching chicks would be so nerve wracking! But I love it!

Yep they take 21 days too, but sometimes you will have them hatch a day or two early, or even a day or two late.
