    Help identify breed

    Hatching Silkies!

    Today is day 21, and we have 8 silkie eggs in a Brinsea Mini Advance II. I incubated them in two groups and put them all together for lockdown. These poor eggs have been through so much! First, shipping was delayed (arrived on a Tuesday instead of a Saturday) due to a holiday. That meant that...

    Hatching grocery store eggs experiment?

    Unfortunately, her issue truly was a shrink wrap. It was terribly sad, but part of the process sometimes! The living chick is doing great and getting fluffy.

    1st Grade Hatch-a-Long! (and a few questions)

    I am a first grade teacher in Texas, and we currently have 7 New Hampshire Reds on Day 22 in the Brinsea Mini Eco Advance. These eggs were shipped from Meyer Hatchery and set from Thursday until Tuesday before I put them in the incubator. All have developed well and the incubation process has...
