So I don't exactly have the story you're looking for, but I used to be a heavy, HEAVY makeup wearer ever since I was 13. I always had bad skin (even before wearing makeup) and it was embarrassing, and I'd pick at it for hours until I was raw and bleeding, so I'd cover it up with a ton of...
All 6 silkies have development. One of my BYM, #13 Fennel, also looks promising. The other BYMs and the BCMs are a bit too dark, but I'm going to candle again tomorrow. I could have sworn that I saw something in some of the BCMs.

Ok so I may have gotten a little impatient. Oops. It's very early on day 3, for those of you who are joining late and are curious.
I can see veins in at least 5 of the silkies. Maybe the 6th, but it's so porous that it's hard to tell. #4 and #6 seem very porous, so I'm a little worried about...
I wrapped a towel around the incubator today because both of my control thermometers inside of the incubator were fluctuating quite a bit. One read 97.6° and the other read 100.6°. Now they're both a bit more stable.
I went ahead and added everyone's usernames next to their egg. We still have...
I'll be candling on Friday, day 4. I'm a little wary of a lot of the silkie eggs and some of the marans. They seem to be very porous. I got them from a local person selling hatching eggs and not a verified business so I can't expect perfection.

After they graduate from the chicken hospital, one of them will be sold or culled.
One of my roosters got roughed up pretty badly. His wattle, comb, and the back of his head are bloody and open. I dabbed with warm water and peroxide, squirted saline on it to try and rinse the blood, and put...
It's officially day 1! Incubator is at 100° and around 30% humidity. I'm going for a mostly dry hatch. I'm naming one of the silkies Lavender

How about a silkie Basil and a BCM Clove 😍 my Roosters are both Silver Laced Wyandotte, and I have no idea who the mamas are. I'm guessing either my Rhode Island Reds or my Golden Laced Wyandottes, or a mix of both. Other contenders could be my Black Australorp or that yellow lady in the...
