I am looking for one or two couple week old ready-to-go-outside bantam pullets. I live in Detroit, Michigan. (Or to be more specific White Lake.) If you have any, please let me know!

So I have 6 RIR eggs in a small table top, relatively cheap incubator (I have to turn and monitor humidity/temp myself - no biggie), but since I put them in after lunch to begin their incubation, today after lunch would have been the start of day 18 - Lockdown. So, this morning when I woke up...
