simply adorable.... congrats on your new babies. I have some in lockdown now. they are due to hatch the 22nd but I think I am gonna have a few early birds (pun intended) hehe cause I can see a few rockers and hear a little tapping and chirping going on in there. I am so excited.I would like to share some photos of my little babies; Ko Shamo, Modern Game, and Leghorn Bantam. It is a wonderful experience to have these magnificent, intelligent, and beautiful breed of birds.

Thank you Monita, for your kind words about my little babies. How wonderful that yours are about to hatch. I wish you many healthy babies, and they are a delight to have. I hope you post some photos of your babies as well.simply adorable.... congrats on your new babies.

I don't know what color hen to put in there with him but I do know that is one stunning bird. I have wanted a grey for the last 5 years and I can never find anyone who has hatching eggs for a reasonable price.
what yall think? I also have a red hen I am thinking of breeding him with....suggestions?i would like to know what color would breed true with his color...
thanks for answering that lol. you did a better job than I would have done. I was just gonna say the last 3 days eggs are in the incubator before they hatch lol.Lockdown is a BYC only expression/word for the 18-thru 21 day of incubation when one is not to dare open or touch the incubator. I don't know where this was ever conjured up but it is a very much talked about subject over to the hatching section.
A hen will naturally stay on the eggs the last few days of the hatch which I'm sure she knows this only by instinct and this is probly triggered by a chirp/cheep or motion inside the egg(s).The last time I checked a hen still can't count too, as I have hens that will brood till doomsday if they are allowed to, so # of days has not a thing to do with it.
Type lockdown in the search box on here you will find plenty of the subject on here for sure.
