Presenting the new family
10 fertile eggs
10 lively chicks
8 were my little Cochin banty eggs
1 a barnyard mix hen
1 red layer hen from pullets plus
The red layer crossed with the banty rooster are ideally what I'd like to end up with. Smaller hens that are still decent layersIMG_5978.JPG
Ross' boys came through. Woohoo
First time hatching banty chicks They are soooooo tiny and cute

They look lovely, glad somebody had a great broody hatch, means there is hope for the rest of us. :)

Mama got off nest overnight at day 3. I had her locked into pen. I got worried so took 8 eggs and left her only two
Put them in incubator until day 18 when I discovered one hatched and dried so gave her back all eggs. All hatched even the ones I let her keep
Ps. Once I unlocked her pen and let her come and go as she pleased she stayed in the nest faithfully! She has a mind of her own and obviously knows more than me!!!!!

Two of the neater coloured chicks from the hatch

Love those colours!!!

Oh my goodness the top one looks like it has a camouflage :)
