I have an adult hen. And an offspring I believe is from her. But I think the roo might be mixed with Silkie. My friend gave him to me as a baby.

I bought it recently myself and used it for the first time. It has worked really well so far. I hatched 12/16, and still have about 6 hours left... The only thing I noticed is that it doesn't hold humidity as well. The last 2 days I wrapped the bottom with sarah wrap and it's held the humidity...

I put mothballs around my coop to keep snakes away.

Have to share. My lead roo had a battle to keep his spot. He won but now has his Halloween costume ready!! Ace Ventura! his name is Prince Charming.

Beautiful!!

Well I had only 2 survive. I think when I got the bigger one out that was going after new baby it shrink wrapped the others. then last Friday a hawk got one of the 2. super sad. But the one is growing.

One is totally out. The others are still working on it. 6 is the one that's out. And 3 and 9 are pipped. One more is but I can't tell which number it is.

Here are 3 you can see

I've got 3 pips outside right now!!

Ok, thanks, right now it's around 30% in there....

So should I increase the humidity for lockdown? It's supposed to be tomorrow.

Ok I have turned them down. I am trying to get the humidity down. I've got it to 40% so far. I couldn't wait to look till dark. Lol. I might try one more time before I go to bed on the bigger eggs

10 is only 10 days in. I found it the day my hens got murdered. :(. So I figured I'd at least try.

Egg 1-3 I saw the babies move!!! Eeek! Egg 4 looks like it stopped? I didn't see movement in it. Then 5-9 I can't tell cause they are so dark. Her eggs were always pretty hard.

This is my 2nd time incubating silkie eggs. These eggs are even more precious, because a week ago the hens that laid these got eaten by a predator. Very traumatic. My first go round didn't go well. I have a hovabator 1602 I think the model is. When I took the egg turner out, my temp dropped and...
