Sweet, get the incubator set up lol

Yay for pullet eggs!

I'm happy to report 4 out of my 20 keepers from this years crop have already started laying last week at 25 and 26 weeks. Shape and size looks decent so far, and colour is a pretty blue green. :) And now our eight year old refuses to eat anything but the wee fairy eggs, hehe.  :)

the down side {to bantams is that}, they don't seem to winter as well under harsh conditions  because of less body mass.   
  I agree with all the upsides.  I have two bantam white araucanas and they are easier all around.  Being tractable is a definite plus when you show, but I've noticed that's more breed\variety related than size.
