Dont think dso, my bantam eggs took as long as a full size egg (around 21 days) but have had eggs hatch a week late
It's all about the journey, not the destination

You have to prepare for anything really.

I've hatched wyandotte bantams twice. The first time they hatched on day 19 and the 2nd lot were day 21/22

Have you stopped turning the eggs yet?

Blue laced.

Mine are Partridge Wyandotte bantams.

I think the little wyandottes are great and I find they are easy to sex very early on.

I wouldnt mind some Silver laced or Gold laced or .......... arghhhhhhh must stop. I wasnt planning on hatching any this year but you never know.  :lol:
