Creating bantam EE's breeding project (a friends flock)

[Weeg]

I think cackle might have bantam EE.

I think theres a couple hatcheries that do. If this really doesn't work, we'll buy them. Though we'd prefer to use our own stock for biosecurity reasons, and because we have the birds. It also sounded like a fun project.

Yeah, I would always make my own as opposed to buying it. Just thought you should know.

I don't have a blue bantam EE, but do have various other bantams.
We wont be using my flock for the project though, and we only have Gray Japanese and another type of bantam rooster available to us in my friends flock. I wish I had a blue bantam EE, they are beautiful!

Tiny, Dutch bantam rooster. I don't have a photo of Diva (Black Tailed White Japanese) currently, but will get one.

Easter Eggers that are currently laying-

The above hens are ones that are currently being inseminated. We'll try the following hens when they start laying.

Also, we checked egg fertility, and none of the eggs were fertile. This could have been because it has been about 3 weeks since the last insemination. I'll update with photos of any eggs with think are fertile in about 7 days.

Are these LF EE, Weeg?

Yes. LF EE's and bantam roosters. Trying to create bantams by breeding the bantam roo's, to the hens.
