Thanks, still holding on, getting stronger bit by bit...does anyone know a source for silkie eggs in maine? I am reordering the FBCM eggs from the same person, my hatch rate would have been close to 100% I think but the silkie eggs I only had 4 go into lockdown from 12 and only 1 hatched, I...

As I posted in the other thread my babies-6 fbcm all have passed because of a temp spike, my 7 year olds one silkie was the last to pass and I have one fbcm who is struggling so hard not to pass...:( I don't know what to do for him

What is the longest you all are comfortable leaving the early hatchers in? My hatch day started yesterday at 5 am ish but technically hasn't even been 21 days yet for some...what do you push it to as far as leaving in the bator? And is it normal for them to get a bit pecky at ones in hatch...

So cute!

I set silkies on the 21 at 11;00pm ish late that night, pics coming later :)

Black silkie just popped out!

Wokw up to a fbcm at 4:45 peeping allover and pips wierd cause i set the silkies 1st!

I have peeping, no pips yet! How long to pip after peeping? lol

Glad you are better! Cute pics, thanks for sharing, nothing here yet, still early though.When do the eggs usually start moving a bit? I am at 19 1/2 and 19 days right now.

I hope it makes it

Woohoo!!!!!Nice, good luck with the rest :)

Happy Birthday, sorry about the stomach bug :( Do you think hatch was low due to humidity or other things? I can't stand the wait, I went ino lockdown earlier....I am going to freak,My kids are going to be sooooo bummed if these chickies don't hatch...hope you feel better asap, glad you are...

Awesome!

Hey fellow Mainer! I have been waiting for you to get back so I could ask if because of our high humidity it would be ok to delay lockdown, I set on the 21st at 10:45 pm and the 22nd at 4:45 pm...I hope your Dorkings hatch for you!

I thought you were supposed to lie the eggs down for lockdown, but I see yours are upright! I think that would be better, but I am not sure ????Help me decide eggsperts, lol! My lockdown is for Monday...Cute chick!

I feel like lockdown on Monday will never come! I am a bit worried, one of my Silkies is getting the saddle shaped airsack shape...any words of wisdom? Also I should take the turner out on Monday and do I need to separate the bigger FBCM eggs from the silkies? Thanks!

I just took a quick peek again and I can see embryo eye beginning in the silkies that are developing! WOOHOO!

I hope all goes well for you, my humidity came back to 54, better than it was last night! I ordered these eggs and spent way too much money on them! Hoping to sell a few of the FBCMs to offset egg cost, lol! I hope we get some hatch success! Good luck with yours:)

Hey there! I am in midcoast too Bath actually, and my humidity has come down some it was at 50 but tonight it is 56...I am a bit worried, although I took an early peek and saw some veins on some silkie eggs :)

Hi! I am new to this forum, have been reading for a few weeks. Just set my 1st batch of eggs, 12 silkie and 12 FBCM on Thursday(21st) night. Temp has been 98-100.4 and humidity is at 52%, very humid here in Maine. Very excited to see what happens!
