So I went out to check the "nursery" and one baby didn't make it all the way out of the egg. He was gone, but I can't figure out why, he looked like a perfect black silkie.
He was cold, so I don't think there was any hope for him. Could the shell have been to hard? Now we're just waiting to...
My brooder should be hatching her clutch any day now and this is our first time letting a hen do this.
Right now shes in a pen with a small animal carrier as a box. How long after hatching can we turn the whole bunch loose into the run and will their mom protect them from the other dozen hens...
