Ygerna Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 This may be a daft question, but, hey ho.. How long do Bantam eggs take to incubate? Is it the same as standard chickens eggs? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 well its meant to be a couple of days less, but I think some depends on breed. The pekin eggs I put in my incu hatched at 20 days but the ones I put under my broody hatched at 22 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Apart from a few exceptions (I had eggs hatch at 16 days once for example) pretty much all of my bantams have hatched on day 21 It can be affected by egg freshness and incubation temperature though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygerna Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 ok. thanks. I'll use the standard time as a guide then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Just be ready for them to arrive on day 19 - mine are usually around the 19 day mark with a few exceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 i had some under a broody that took 22 days- i'd nearly given up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
