    I thought the chick died in the shell

    Now you have me worried about the chick we threw in the garbage today. He zipped, but then stopped moving/cheeping. We left him another 24 hours but with exposed membrane, we figured he was doomed. We picked him up, tapped on the shell...still nothing. So, we put him in the garbage. We weren't...

    Hatching Date?

    Thanks! Temp has been steady at 100 since day 1. Only dropped slightly each time I opened the incubator to turn the eggs.

    Hatching Date?

    We put our eggs in the incubator on Thursday, May 31st at 9am. When should they hatch - Wednesday the 20th or Thursday the 21st? We are down to 4 eggs - 3 silkies and 1 brown one. Fingers are crossed that at least one will hatch!
