Can you incubate banty and regular eggs together?

[MrsChickendad]

Just wondering if you can hatch bantam and regular chickens together. I can think of a couple of reasons why and a couple of reasons why not. Any advice?

 

[BeckyLa]

I did, no problem, but the banty's hatched on day 17 while I had to wait to day 21 on the others.

 

[Pumpkinpup]

I had the same experience, my bantam egg hatched early on day 19 and the others on day 21 and 22

All together now... *sing it with me!* All together now...

Yep, you certainly can. Mine all hatch at the same time.

 

[Teach97]

you can even put quail in there!

 

[MrsChickendad]

Thanks everybody. I thought maybe the big ol' chickies would trample the lil bitty chickies.

Can you keep chicks of different sizes in the same brooder? I'd make things easier for a few weeks until we get the hotel arrangements figured out!

 

[Teach97]

for a short period yes in the brooder...but not real long...my coturnix and banties do ok but the full sized guys just whooped up on them too much
