Do bantam eggs hatch before regular chicken eggs?

[Chicken-lovebirdchihuahua]

so yeah do they? My bantam eggs ware more developed than the others they already have the full spider thing when the regulars are just starting to show fertility?!

They can on occasion but most hatch 20 to 21days as normal

Some people say that they do, and in general, smaller animals (dwarf rabbits vs Flemish Giants, Pygmy goats vs Kikos) do tend to have slightly shorter gestation periods than larger animals. The same may hold true for chickens. However, my bantam eggs have always taken the same period as my regular chicken eggs, even when incubated in the exact same conditions, under the same hen. I have Cochin bantams and Old English Game Bantams.

They all take 21 days to hatch if your incubator is set correctly.

My bantams usually hatch on day 19-20.... Regular- usually day 21-22
