Hi Guys,

I just recently started incubating silkies and am eager to find some show girl chickens unfortunately they are not very popular in the UK and I am struggling to find breeders. Please let me know if you know of anyone

Thanks all. Just a quick one regarding Lockdown, I was told that some Bantams can hatch quicker than usual... so I put my eggs into lockdown on day 16, really starting to panic as i've been looking into it a bit more and that could be too soon? They are due to hatch Friday so I will have to just wait and see but if anyone has any idea if they will be ok that would be great !

I had bantam eggs in with my other eggs and just treated them all the same. I'm not sure what the 'rules' are though. If you are worried pop over to the hatching forums and ask there as that is where all the hatching / incubating gurus hang out. I think my banty came out day 19 if that helps.
