Hi! Sorry for the late reply. I just got a nurture right 360 actually, and it is my first time using it with shipped eggs. I'd totally recommend putting them point side down in egg cartons for the first 2-3 days, that's what I did. And letting them rest 24 hours prior to incubation so the eggs...

Thank you for the response! So far i'm on day 3 with the new batch I didn't start turning till day 2 So fingers crossed their developing Is it okay to keep the humidity low for the first few days ? (Staying around 35-48%) Or do you think I should keep it as high as possible? Ahhh I can't...

Hello, I just have one question about shipped eggs, For the first three days, when you say you don't turn them, that means no turning at all, right? (like not even manually turning the eggs?) Just leave them like that ? Sorry, I know this question might be late, but my first attempt at...

What was your experience like ordering from the dunham farm? I am considering ordering from them but I am a bit skeptical about it, it just seems a bit suspicious.

Okay, i have been looking for breeders but i'm not able to find any, do you have any references ? Thank you for the response btw! :)

Does anyone know any hatchery that is LEGIT that sells day old white bearded silkie chicks specifically? I am trying soooo hard to find one, but it seems impossible :/ Thanks

How many times a day did you tilt them ? I have 10 eggs and they all have saddle shaped air cells, I don't think they're detached tho. They didn't move at all. They're on day 5 or 6. Currently have them on their sides being rotated every hour (automatic). I honestly don't know what to do, there...

Just candled my shipped silkie eggs , they're on day 5 but only one seems to be fertile and the rest are questionable. The one fertile (that seems alive) has a saddle shaped air cell but it is not moving. All the other eggs have detached air cells. I rested them for 8-9 hours and began turning...

I placed them all in the incubator, candled them before and they all seem in good shape. I put 10 in and I'm not expecting no more or less to hatch, it's up to the eggs 😊 Even tho i really hope a few do decide to hatch 😅

I agree! Especially in hotter weather. how long do you think eggs with detached air cells should rest? Also, the eggs will be 4-5 days old when I recieve them that is a lot to take in 😅but very helpful advice, thank you! It sounds intimidating but exciting at the same time, even though i'm...

Thank you for the response! 😊 The eggs are coming from Florida to Texas, so that is why i've decided to put them straight in the incubator. They may also be around 4-5 days old when I get them. Also, do you suggest I place all of them in a upright position pointy side down for the first three...

Thank you so much for the info! I actually ordered silkie eggs, and they are coming from Florida to Texas That's interesting, is there a particular way to hatch silkie eggs ? This will be my first time hatching this breed too, and I would love to have at least 3 or 4 hatch ! They have been my...

Would it be okay to put eggs in the bator right after receiving them, and of course putting the ones w detached air cells in a upright position, and with no turner? I don't see the point in letting them "rest" if they are all ready at room temp when I get them. Can someone explain why they have...

I understand! I hadn't planned to hatch just one, but it happened.. I definitely agree that they need some friends. I am home everyday so I will constantly be keeping it company. I may get another chick if they have some at our local feed store. 😊

Ah I see! Will definitely check them out! Thanks for the references ! 😊
