    Quitters all the time

    Hi there, I’ve been having issues with quitters in my hen’s eggs for a third time now. We have a mixed flock with bantam Barnevelders and a Belgian chicken breed, our rooster is from the bantams. When my barnevelder became broody on eggs from both breeds, they all developed very well. Sadly...
