Don't bantam eggs usually hatch a day early? I believe that's what I've been told. The Mille Fleur eggs will be on day 21 on Wednesday, so maybe Tuesday hatch...

And on another note, can I keep the full size chicks and bantam chicks in the same brooder?

I am keeping silkie (28 grams!) In with my RSL chicks right now, and have kept OEGB and BSL chicks together last year. So yes, it works!

I had this problem , even baby chicks disapeered.
I got a broody box with 5/16" hardware cloth that has eliminated this issue for me.

I've always put my silkie babies and full size chicks in the same brooder! It should be fine!!

It's been almost 11 hours since it pipped, so it could hatch any time.

Somehow Duchess and Coreen found out how to get out. They literally pulled a Madagascar and dug their way out, then waddled themselves out to the garden to eat the weeds and do some free garden work. So because of this I think it's a good idea to build a little fence enclosing my footpath to the coop and the garden area, and during the day I can let the girls out to turn the soil and eat the weeds and seeds. They don't fly out of the enclosures anymore and they're actually really good at foraging and coming home when called now so I think supervised time in the garden would be okay.

Honestly it saves me a lot of time pulling and turning in the garden.
