jam Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Have just had a quick skim over the hatching guide in the forum and have been left slightly confuzled. It says that you should stop turning bantam eggs at day 15 and they will hatch on day 18. On my last hatch I had a mixture of large fowl and bantams so i stopped turning them all on day 18 and the majority of the eggs hatched on the 20th day. So now I have just bantams, when should I stop turning?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I've found that most bantam eggs hatch at day 19, but some to go to 20 or 21. Not much help eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I always stop turning mine at day 18, like the normal sized eggs. Have had some pip on day 19. However, some didn't pip until later & some didn't hatch until day 22. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
