So do i. if they do hatch can they be put in with the other chicks we are getting? Ideally they would hatch around the 6th of march and the chicks we are getting from cackle hatchery are due here the 26th of feb

They should work but the just hatched chicks should be fluffed up and active. Use a red light bulb to keep them calm.

Wonderful and exciting! Hoping for lots of company soon.

Yes all the cackle chicks are bantams and only one of the eggs is a bantam the other two are standard size EE and buff orpington if im correct.
the eggs would only be like 10 or so days younger would it really make a difference?

One of the Hens in the layer flock is laying a huge Jumbo egg--over 71 Grams egg.

Two days in a row! Poor girl.

I have mixed chicks up to 2 weeks different in age. They do fine. The Australorps adopted the Black Penedesencas as their babies. It was so funny to see the two week old "mothers" with the little pennes under them.

@ronott1 , just curious, how big is the hen that laid those big eggs?

10 days is a lot of growth for chickens. It sounds like it should work out, The bantam chicks should be about the same size as your chicks when they hatch.

Okay so the ones im hoping will hatch shouldnt get hurt or anything by the others?
