Well, I have been hatching out chicks since the middle of January, my next hatchlings are due on the 27th, 31st and then on the 13th of April. I was going to let my banties set, but all the hens pushed them out to lay more eggs. I had to layers when I finally realized what was going on. I was allowing them to set on 13, but when I collected them today, I had 34 - I left them each a bantie egg.
