Happy New Year! 2022 is definitely upon us and I do have a few early chicks started. Goals for 2022 at Bantam Hill are the following:

1. Finish building out pens in the barn loft.
2. Hatch out two generations of buff bantam Ameraucana improvement project chicks.
3. Hatch out two generations of brown red Ameraucana improvement project chicks.
4. Achieve 80% egg fertility, 80% hatch rate for fertile eggs, and 80% chick survival.
5. Hatch out large fowl silver, brown red, and black Ameraucana where 25% of the offspring are better than their parents.
6. Establish black, wheaten/blue wheaten, and white bantam Ameraucana clans.
7. Hatch out at least 25 white bantam Chantecler chicks.
8. Determine a variety of American Game chickens to keep.
9. Have a new Bantam Hill logo designed.
