Bantams aren't any better. And still pose the exact same disease risk. The experiment that ChickensLegs is talking about, the hen killed many of the chicks by stepping on them.
What is so hard about buying or building an incubator? I built all the ones I use for less than $300 and I can hatch 240 chicks at a time. You guys could build cooler bators for $40 or less and eliminate all the risk. Or just use pigeons or doves to brood them. Why would you even want to use chickens after seeing the pictures I linked here?
