edited to add:
It's odd mine were hatching early too this week. I expect early hatchers from some of my Silkies and crosses, but I hadn't hatched enough from the Frizzle pen to know what to expect.
I'm surprised the Am' is early. They tend to go 'full term' here.
edited to add again:
The last fertile egg I got from Black Jack and the Am' girls hatched yesterday on Day 19, so it was an early bird, too.
When your chick is out, that will be the last of his children (He was retired).
