Thanks for the info @GitaBooks ! My chick is better today, she already seems a bit stronger. What I wanted to ask is will she be ok on her own? Coz I'm keeping her on her own in a box while she is weak. She tends to scream for her mum every now and then and I feel bad but I can't put her back...

Bad news :( we went out to check on the chicks tonight and we found the black chick away from its mother on her back and lifeless. We thought she was dead :( then my dad picked her up and he felt she still may have had some life left in her, so we put her in a box on her own with a light bulb...

Another egg hatched today!!!! And it's a black chick!!!! Soooo cute! She was screaming for her mum and she could barely walk so I helped her get under her mum's wing!!! 2 more to goI'll post pics

Just an update- we have 1 chick so far! And it is sooooo cute she's nice a warm cuddled up with mummy :) it truly is amazing! Now I'm still waiting on those 3 eggs, not sure whether they will hatch or not but I'm just gonna give them a little more time. Hopefully the rest will hatch tomorrow at...

@silkienrescuesTo be honest I only just noticed the hole today when I did a quick inspection of the eggs after she got up for a short break!!! She came straight back to the eggs after 5 minutes and she's sitting on them again. I don't think that hole was there earlier, I think this mightve...

@btguy @GitaBooks when Bonnie got off today for a short time, I saw that the egg had a hole in it :/ but I dunno how or why? It looks like maybe she pecked it? I think maybe the chick that was in there is dead :( does anyone know what that is?

Just a quick update and a question- Bonnie (my broody silkie) is still sitting on the eggs at day 22 and no chicks yet. However, a friend of ours suggested that we should slightly crack the egg to help the chicks in case they are unable to crack through the shell themselves. I don't feel really...

Thank you @GitaBooks @btguy for your information :) I will let you know what happens. And now we wait!

@GitaBooks You're right, I panicked for no reason!!!!! She sat back on the eggs, I haven't been able to candle them. Is it too late to do that now? I did a visual inspection of the eggs and they don't look like they're rotting, the shell appears a normal colour. I hope they actually hatch...

Hello, My broody silkie hen who has been sitting on the eggs for 20 days now just suddenly got up all by herself and hasn't returned to the eggs yet!!!! I don't understand what's happening she was so close to the 21 days? So far I haven't seen any eggs hatch. Can anyone explain what this means...
