There are 12 Cj's silkies eggs,7 Ameraucanas , and 7 of my own eggs(2 mixed breed eggs and 5 paint silkie eggs).I also have a broody silkie hen who has 2 eggs under her. One mixed breed egg and her own purebred silkie egg. Both of her eggs are developing so far. jumpy.gif

Thank you, Silkymom!
The question will be..."How will I decide WHAT is SQ and NOT SQ???" And then, What do I do with the "NOT SQ"? How will I be able to get rid of the "NOT SQ" chicks....they are all so cute!
