Good news, bad news. I taped both Silkies legs. First hatched died after about 25 hours. Second hatched is moving around pretty good for something with tape on it's legs. First pipped pure Cochin never made it out of the shell. It zipped but couldn't push out. Was Really stinky. A mixed Cochin has hatched and I just watched a pure Cochin kick out of its shell. Pipped & zipped in about 3 hours. It does appear to still have a small amount of yolk sac that isn't absorbet yet, about the size of a large green pea. Hope it will be OK. Have two other, Cochin & mix pipping n zipping. So, it's not my best hatch nor my worst hatch. I just had high hopes - as we all do.
