Since no questions are being asked now and this is chick season, I thought I would comment about a question someone posed on another board. The question...
Another question/concern was about a tiny egg that was in a nest. This is not abnormal, but not an every day thing. I keep all of my "fart" eggs as they are...
now wouldn't that be a tiny bantam? what a hoot! Have a blessed day! Leigh Anne, aka, Lala, Mama, Aunt Bug Payton Allen Patterson May 26, 2008 - March 1,...
good points! thanks, Mark! Have a blessed day! Leigh Anne, aka, Lala, Mama, Aunt Bug Payton Allen Patterson May 26, 2008 - March 1, 2009. We miss you! Live...
Hi Mark, There is a minimum that nature demands and if that minimum in each species is not met then the eggs won't hatch. We talked about this quite a while...
Dean, Tiny bantam pullet eggs?!?!? Do they not lay tiny eggs when they are hens? I like tiny birds and tiny eggs. And if this is some special breed that...
On the rare ocasions when I find these eggs, they always seem to have much thicker than normal shells. It is like the total amount of shell material for a...
I have a pen of Self Blue English Game Bantams that lay some teenie eggs and they actually hatch. I would almost guarantee that the chicks are small enough to...
Hi Michael, I have noticed the same thing. The shells on a tiny egg are usually the same thickness as the shells on a normal egg. Even if there was a yolk and...
dern. I didn't save my itty-bitty egg. if I get anymore,I will save and dry them! they were too cute! Have a blessed day! Leigh Anne, aka, Lala, Mama, Aunt...
Hi I was wondering if someone could give me an idea as to how long it should take to hatch Dutch Bantam eggs in an incubator. Also Does anybody know the...
When is the best time to put the new babies in with the rest of the flock? They are 5 weeks old and have been in their own separate enclosure since they were...
I do not think that Dutch Bantam eggs would be much different than other small true bantams and would hatch 21 days after thy are put in the incubator (how...
Betsy, The only thing I can say is it depends. It depends upon the weather (will they be too cold), your setup, the other chickens, and what works for you...
I have not been on here for a while as I have been swamped at work and at home (about 250 bantam chicks at various ages is part of it). Anyway, when you are...
Hi Mark, Well how does it feel to have joined the ranks of those who have also screwed up many times before and still feel bad about it? If I posted everything...
Dean, Yes, it sounds like you have had you share of stuff happen, but I could not believe how stupid I was. I am sure we have all had our fair share of stupid...
I am building a stealth coop for a friend so that he can keep a few bantam chickens in his yard without any of his neighbors knowing about them. It looks...
Hi Mark, By "popping the caps" I am referring to the pipped area where the chicks will or should eventually break all the way around the shell and use this as...
Dean, So, if you know the humidity was high, and you see that the membrane has turned gray (from drying out or what), then you just pop off the top? Do you...
Hi Mark, As I have said many times I "normally" do not help anything out of it's shell. However when the humidity becomes deadly to a hatch I often set that...
Dean, But when you have rare bantam eggs shipped to you (like what I got from you) and don't have that many, helping one out could make the difference of being...
Try to resist the temptation. Some chicks hatch quickly after pipping; others take longer. The most pipped egg may well not be the first to hatch. If you do...
I do not help many, but will continue to do so as I have gotten pretty good at figuring out which ones and when. Since I have so many different sized and...
Hi all, Just making my rounds and saying Hello. Summer is soon approaching. I hope you are ready for it. I don't think I am. The weather here in Missouri has...
Hi Patrick, I had a few thoughts to share and thought I would use your posting as a spring board. They are having a similar conversation on one of the Serama...
Hi - my name is Jennifer and I am just getting re-acquatited with chickens. I raised them for a time while growing up and in 4-H. I am looking at getting a...
David, An interesting read. I got some bantam Araucana eggs from Bobbie, but none hatched. At some point I might be interested in some, but I have stopped...
Jennifer, Welcome to our bantam board. The Brabanter is new to me too, so I went to Feathersite and looked at them. They are crested birds like Polish. The...
