So I'm trying to upload pics(my first time) so have patience with me. Here are 3 of the mixed Bantys I got a RK, 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Any ideas what they are? The little yellow one is still really small

Just a total guess, but could the first 2 be Sebrights? Not sure about the last one

So I have about a 1.5 dozen bantam eggs in the fridge that I can't even give away. So I thought I would feed them back to the flock. What I'm not sure about is if I should cook prior or not? I'm afraid if I feed them raw they will start eating the eggs in the lay boxes before I can collect them. Is this a valid concern?

I've been told by experienced folks that it doesn't encourage egg eating and you can feed them raw.

But...for every one of the experienced folks that say that, someone new will say that it will.

Here are my first babies to hatch in my new (to me) Sportsman. They incubated most of the way in my Little Giant and then moved into the Sportsman for lock-down and hatch. More are going into lock down tomorrow and I've got eggs set to hatch for the next two weeks.

I'm unstoppable now! Fun times!!

I was thinking maybe sebright too. I wish the 3rd would be a Millie but it has clean legs. They all have little upright perky tails coming on. The 6 bantams are with the Wyandottes that I got at the same time. They are all the same colors except the one little yellow/black. If I didn't know better I'd think they were all the same from the markings and color except the Wyandots are 4 times bigger now!

I was thinking the last chick maybe an old English game?

Are ducks like chickens like what they can eat and what not???

I would cook them just because it's better safe than sorry, plus really how much cost/time/trouble is it to cook them just in case? For lots of stuff in life I'd rather spend a couple of bucks and a little extra times on stuff like this sometimes it's just easier to do it that way and not have the potential for hassle later.
