It is hard work, and many are exhausted upon pipping, zipping and exiting the egg.

 

[The-White-Elephant]

Wow! That was way faster than mine! Mine took a bit longer

Two more have popped. Both bantam eggs. Hopefully out by bedtime.

I also appreciated the way size was described. Very sensible.

Yes. I liked that they differentiated between bantams & standards. Most places I've ever looked @ don't. If you know something about hen breeds that gives you some sort of guide as to what you could possibly house appropriately. You would have to do some math if you wanted Jersey Giants or Sussex or Orps but better than being told 8 chickens when it will only house 4 bantams properly.

Exactly! That little flat pack the hens use as a nesting box was advertised as suitable for six!! I had three in it and realised how inadequate it was within a day.

I'm also curious about plastic coops and mites. Does anyone have experience?
