Hello everyone! My frizzle bantam decided to go broody at a year old. We decided to let her try and hatch some eggs as long as she was just sitting around. I stopped by a small farm that had a sign for eggs and asked if they had any bantam hatching eggs. The older lady walked to her coops and returned with three eggs. Since beggars can't be choosers, I thanked her and left.
Last week I candled the eggs and found one to be blank, one had an air sac but was brown and hard to see, the last was white and I could see the chick move inside. I had an expected hatch date of 6/25/11. Tuesday morning, the 21st., I found the brown egg broken and this chick in the nest. Since then, I've used a wireless security camera to monitor mom and the chick. The white egg has not hatched yet.
Since I have no idea what breed chicken this came from I thought I would post here.
Thanks for the help. By the way, I'm guessing mom is a bantam cochin. Am I right?
