    Cold egg.. can I hatch still?

    I successfully hatched 5 call duck eggs that the duck had kicked out the nest very early one morning. The eggs were all very cold by the time I saw them. I would say yes.

    Thank you and sorry for asking so much on your post. I’m new to posting on BackyardChickens as well as Silkies so just learning how it all works. Old dogs and new tricks springs to mind 🤦‍♀️

    Thank you for the advice, it is appreciated! I was told to breed the paint hen to the black cockerel and paint cockerel to a black hen :-/ plus splash to splash. That could be a load of twaddle though

    Good luck with your paints, you sound dedicated. Mine are nowhere near standard quality but I just wanted to see if I could breed paints. I bought 2 paints, male and female, a black cockerel and a splash hen and stupidly thought it was as simple as that :-/

    Calls are cute and funny wee ducks but females are very loud! I have one called Gabby who likes trying to be louder than the others. I have decided to breed paints too, as well as splash. I’m only just starting out and my birds are still young so I haven’t had to deal with extra cockerels yet...

    I started with Call ducks a few years ago so Silkies are definitely easier and cleaner :)

    Thank you for answering. Thank you for your answer, it’s really helpful, I really don’t know much about them yet. I’ve just started breeding Silkies and have a lot to learn. I’m in Scotland

    I’m also in the uk and confused. Did you ever find the answer to USA silkies v Silkie?

    Just learning

    Final update All four babies hatched safe and well. Two had their feet over their heads! Last egg that looked way behind in development had actually stopped developing died. Thank you all for your friendship while I was giving birth (felt like it lol)
