Hi and from Ohio. So glad to have you aboard. What kind are they?

Welcome to BYC. Pointed hackle and saddle feathers, early comb development and crowing indicate a rooster. They can set as many as they can cover. Generally that would be 8 to 10 bantam eggs or 6 to 8 large fowl eggs. They can incubate more in moderate weather conditions and less in very cold seasons.

6-8! WOW I didnt think they could set that many cause my barred rock bantam only set like 4 or 5 each time maybe less, but she's gone now
