lockdown for bantams?

[afieldssnowyegger]

hi : )
so i know that hatch time for bantams is a little earlier than normal- i locked down my bantam eggs (silkies & polish) at day 17 this morning, is that going to be okay??? my standard sized eggs are still being turned every hour, not going to lock down for that until tomorrow night. thoughts?

Bantams can hatch on day 20 depending on incubation. I'm not familiar with how many days before as I haven't used an incubator. Hopefully someone can help out.

Just an update- they actually hatched same time. My polishes were only a couple hours earlier than the standard size BCmarans
