9 bantams hatched! 2 bantams and 15 Bresse to go. 2 Bresse have externally piped. Now I have moved the 9 cheerleaders to the brooder I can hear some small peeps

So for the last two days instead of turning the eggs five times a day I only turned three times lock down is tomorrow and I’m worried I’m not turning enough with the chick get stuck to the side

3x a day is fine. Anything less would be a problem.

My buckeye roo has been mating my bantams. 2 of the bantams have finally started laying. Do you think I should try incubating them? A buckeye over OEG bantam... hmm...

How much of I size difference are the birds? I would be worried the chicks may grow to fast and to big for the eggs
