Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

Thanks, and Not sure bought him at a show yesterday

I have Barnes and Reid lines of blacks. Mine have proven very difficult to hatch, but hoping to get that figured out this year.

I leave the plugs in for the first 3 days. then take them out. Until I candle them I run 35-45% and adjust accordingly based on the air cells. Incubating a little drier really improved my hatch rates last year. I usually run 2-3 incubators and a hatcher, and I experiment as I go along. I wish I could tell you there's an exact formula to incubating OEGB eggs, other than letting your broodies have them, but you have to find what works for you. They're a lot better than we are, but even they seem to have problems with some lines. Also, if they're broody, they're not laying. I tend to let my girls brood towards the end of the season, as I'm winding down.

Thanks!

Let my brown reds out. Pretty but not show quality. The girls are very sweet. The rooster frequently lets me know they don't belong to me.
