This is my four week old chick. Rooster I'm pretty sure was my all white silkie and mom could have been barred rock but not absolutely sure as they all lay in the same spot...I think this is a hen and hopefully she stays this pretty, this was my favorite out of our March hatch.
Hi! I have twenty chicks I hatched out four weeks ago and they have been outside in a rabbit hutch for two weeks. It's enclosed on three sides with a tarp over it at night and they have done just fine. I'm in Missouri and it was down to 25 last night. I leave their heater lamp on all the time...
I hatched out six days ago and we had some silkies that had the frizzle gene and we are on day six and I'm not seeing any frizzeling yet? Starting to worry because that's what I really wanted. How long does it take before you can tell, I've heard days and over a week,?
I hatched out twenty of 29 Friday and Saturday. I had to help two that were stuck but they made it, I was rally scared they wouldn't but everyone is doing well.
I just came home from work and was preparing to go into lockdown and add alina when I noticed one of my eggs was rocking and after closer inspection it looks like it's pipping it's just not broken all the way thru.I had to move ur and since then it's been still.isn't 18 days too soon for this?
I guess I'm being a late start on this here since my eggs are on day 18 today. I set my eggs in the incubator on the 8th & 9th of feb. I placed 35 in there and ended up removing six for no development. Now I have 29. I have over a dozen silkie/frizzle, about six cochan and the rest are barnyard...
Tomorrow is day 18 for me. This is my first hatch with an incubator. I have 29 eggs in there and I candled them today and they all look good! I haven't been able to check my humidity at all but I have kept water in the bottom and the air sacks all looked good I think!? I have about a dozen...
This is my first time using an incubator and I just set about thirty eggs yesterday morning. Mostly silkie/frizzle but a few backyard mixes. Well we had company last night until late and I completely forgot about turning them...have a ruined them already? I turned them all this asap. :-( Thanks!
