This little banty has been faithfully sitting on her nest of eggs underneath the screen porch's floor joists for days upon days. We're not sure quite how many, since we didn't know she was under there for a few, we just thought she was missing, but its been at least 17 days.
My books say that a banty's incubation period is 19-21 days, so at any moment now I'm hoping to hear peeping from under the porch or little fluff balls skittering about! I'd love to have some homegrown chicks.
