That's what I wish I would've done... My relatives gave me 14 hatching eggs, but 6 are actually fertilized and in the incubator. I bought two roosters for future breeding, but can jot decide what color of hens to get... I am wondering if I show a trio, do they all have to be the same color?

Have you already picked out chickens?

Yes, I've checked them... It seems that none of them are fertile:( I'm planning on getting two bantam hens.

Does anyone have any tips for showing silkies?

So, I have two hens that have been laying on eggs for like two weeks now. We want them to hatch eggs, but none of the eggs they are laying on are fertilized because the roo is a bantam and the hens are pretty big So, is it okay to buy some hatching eggs online? And if so, how many? TIA!

Anybody know where I could get some cheap silkie hatching eggs? I need them shipped unless located in central OK.

Do they go on lockdown at the same time?

Is it possible to incubate quail and chicken eggs in the same incubator at the same time?

Thanks Tony. So, would it be better to use a regular quail pen?

So they will not return?

I am wanting to start having free ranged quail. I've read that if you provide them with a return box, they will come back to it and lay their eggs. Is this true?

Do you have any silkie eggs?

$39.42

I don't know the measurements for my coop, but I do know that it holds up to twelve chickens. I think I am going to get another hybrid and see how it goes. Thanks, and wish me luck!

Correct! You can still eat fertilized eggs as long as you do not let it incubate or let a hen sit on it.
