HATCHING BANTAM COCHIN EGGS TIPS AND TRICKS

[karint]

Anything I should know about bantam cochin eggs to help them hatch? I normally do dry hatch with my eggs so am wondering about that if it's ok to continue dry hatching. Also will these eggs need to go into lockdown sooner? Google says no but they are so tiny I wonder a bit but I know someone here will have experience.

You can dry hatch them like your others.

I hatch tons of silkie eggs the traditional method except I do a lockdown a day or two early. I've had a few peeping on Day 18, and many on Day 19.

You can if you want to because the last week of rotation is really not as important as they are large in their shell and mobile so won't get stuck.

Thanks. It’s so nice to hear from people with exoerience. I just put them in this morning. I’m so excited.

Just incubate then as you would any other large fowl eggs. Lockdown day 18 as per normal.
