Here is the silkie in question - thought hen but now wondering roo -

Trying to figure out what’s going on. Silkie flock - one maybe roo originally thought was female - are these fertilized eggs or not? Thank you!

Help....an egg has a crack - there is a line and then a little hole/circles of cracks like a bullet hole almost looking (sorry idk how else to describe)- is this it hatching or something else? They haven’t been dropped or anything and Tina is sitting religiously on them...

Thank you! I will have to google what this means as a first timer! Appreciate your reply!

Okay ... any guesses how old these eggs are? No they’re not dead they’re very much alive it’s the bad photograph/er/y and janky candling situation Eggs are adopted - have moved her and eggs inside today because of weather and getting pecked on bf other hen

Don’t listen to me! I have absolutely not a single clue 😂. They’re all beautiful and quite fluffy and fabulous!

Silkies are notoriously hard - I was wondering about my year old hen until she laid an egg :rolleyes: ! I’d guess the beautiful black one might be a roo but that’s just a pure guess based on nothing but stance

Thank you so much! That particular little guy seems to have a lot of room to move and is busy....from what I’ve read it doesn’t seem he/she would be adjusting itself so much if further along? But I truly have no idea

Thank you so very much for your reply! (I’ve become a little obsessed with making sure these eggs are okay since losing the other three ...so truly appreciated!) the person I got them from gave them To me for my broody hen on the 16th of June and wasn’t sure of date - but I swear these look...

Just an update -unfortunately none of the 3 bantam eggs made it. They all went bad several days after these pics. Blood rings then leaking/weeping (not sure of term) thank you all for replies! Still hoping the 7 silkies make it

Following! Best of luck on your hatch!

ETA. - 2 pictures below Can be anywhere from 11-15 I guess. Silkie sitting on adopted eggs. Apologies I know this isn’t the best picture but this is the result of a rather janky candling situation and a very excited 6 year old photographer :)
