Minni Egg Hatch

[Violetsfeathers]

We sold 3, one got taken by a raccoon, one was found in the side of the road (possibly a dog), one kept losing weight so eventually we had to put her down, one had her butt torn open with maggots in it (alive), one died in her sleep, and the rooster died of an ear infection.
That is the order they died, all of natural causes.

Oh and one was blind in one eye and kept wandering away from the flock, she disappeared one day.

The rooster died last February after we moved, we haven't lost a chicken since then.

Day 18!

I found another small egg, bigger than the tiny ones but smaller than a normal sized bantam egg. I put it under marshmallow but I'm not sure I should hatch it, she will have babies of her own when it hatches and will probably abandon it when the others hatch, I have an incubator in case she does but still do not know if I should hatch it.

What do you think?

Just do it anyway. nothing to loose.

 

[Violetsfeathers]

If I do it the baby will be lonely and will probably imprint on me, not that that's a bad thing, but I want to be able to go places without it screaming for me. If it put it with marshmallow and the older chicks they might pick on it

Day 19
I have decided against hatching the small egg

 

[Violetsfeathers]

This is the small egg next to a normal size bantam egg.
If spice was still broody I would give it to her. (Hitting myself)

Big egg, bantam egg, small egg, mini egg
