    Chicken losing voice?

    My silkie was doing this for a couple days. Just found him dead. So weird.

    Genetic testing? Just kidding. My husband would kill me. haha

    Keet,chicken, or mix

    I was not intentional to possibly mix the two. I just collected what I thought were my bantam or silkie eggs. I just find it weird they have stripes. The bantam hens are silkies and maybe barred rock or similar appearance.

    I hatched 20 eggs. 7 look like keets with racing stripes, but not bright orange feet, and hatched at 21 days. Roosters were black silkie, ameracauna, and 4 guineas share the coop. What do you think?

    I think my 20 eggs that hatched... 7 are keets or mixed keets. They hatched the same time as chickens (day 1). Can you look at the picture and tell me your thoughts?

    10 hatched so far out of 21.

    8 alive, 3 cracked! I had 21 total. Still waiting for the others. Hard to control the humidity after they start hatching.

    Today is day 1. A bunch were cracked. And one hatched so far!

    I meant 70-75%. I’m working 12 hour shifts this weekend. Ugh! Hopefully chicks can wait for me. How long from crack to out of egg?

    Will chicks hatch on “day 1” or the day after? I’m on day 3 now. Turned out. Vent open. Humidity 60-65%.

    Yes. Mine was cracked. Returned for a new one. This one is fine.

    I add water day and night. If you turn knob to left it lowers humidity; right increases humidity. I wrote in sharpie on top so I won’t forget and teenagers and fix while I’m at work.

    I really like this incubator. Minimal work. Monitor temp, humidity and add water daily. Day 7... I candled 3 eggs this morning. I can’t see anything in green/blue, or dark brown eggs. But I do see movement in a light colored egg. I’m new to chickens and egg hatching.

    I’m having an issue keeping humidity 50-55%. Does more water = higher humidity? And dialing left increases humidity? It was awesome for a couple hours. Then I put the eggs in and couple hours later the humidity is 60%
