    Who has seen a silkie like this?

    Indeed. Once you get mixed flocks who knows whats going to hatch out. Honestly i think thats why I still incubate. I am a slightly disappointed when obvious looks like the others chicks pops out.

    Who has seen a silkie like this?

    Thought this was a interesting looking chick that hatched today. Roosters I have are a grey silkie and a old english bantam, was pretty sure this egg was from a pure breed silkie, but I have a cochin hen and a few cochin silkie mix hens and a couple serama brassy black hens.

    HELP! hen sitting on only egg? What do you think? This one is a little complicated

    Egg update. Candled last night at 11pm and movement was minimum with only a small section of rapid rythmic like heart or breathing. No sign of internal pip. I felt this was bad. Checked noon today and it was moving no more. I like to open my eggs when they fail to hatch to see what...

    It has energy. Thats good. How long has it been hatched? You might need to give water with a dropper for a couple of days, and make sure you block it in from the rest of the brooder as most likely it would get into the water and drown . I think it will get its balance in a day or 2. Had one...

    When to move hen with chicks to the coop, when they hatched inside

    When should I move a hen with her chicks to the coop when the broody hen was moved inside to finish the hatch? Chickens are free range 100% of the time so the coop was built for nightime housing only. Though off one nest box I temporarly caged it in with the top open so the babies cannot...

    HELP! hen sitting on only egg? What do you think? This one is a little complicated

    Thats right on with what i was thinking. Now she is good. 1 egg thats already super delayed is a big chance. If she leaves it ill just pop it in the incubator

    Yes air cell is text book example perfect. So you think putting the chick in will disrupt the egg?

    HELP! hen sitting on only egg? What do you think? This one is a little complicated

    Just wanted to check as sure it was a quiter and candled and the air sac has grown a unmistakable amount and still lots off movement that looks normal. However i already picked up a 2 - 3 day old chick to put under her tonight. I have no doubt she will except the chick but afraid she may...

    First time incubating..

    I had the cheapo LG still air incubator. Worked great on first hatch like 98% hatched then not so great on second hatch and 3rd hatch only got 2 eggs out of 14. Think its a one and done thing but it was only $20.
