My silkie black hen is hatching out her eggs, I'm soo excited I cant wait to see them, not going to disturb her now, any advice or is mama going to take care of everything. I of course have all the proper feed and such and a plush nesting box any extra info would be great thanks
They are HATCHINGG!! one so far Im going to leave her be and let her take control, Is there anything I should do?( Besides the normal proper feed/water/heat) she is in a nesting box about 1 1/2 high is that ok or will the babys fall out?
Ok so my little black silkie has been sitting on 3 eggs, she has 2 days till her hatch date. every other day I check and clean her nesting box, well I noticed two days ago that the underbelly feathers were missing and just thought it was from her sitting in one spot for along time, well today...
it was only for a short time and it was a nice warm day so only about 4 to 5 hrs in temps about 65 outside maybe a bit warmer in the nesting box, I have them in the house under a heat lamp I will turn them Thur the night and get a proper set up tomorrow I hope they have on at Tractor Supply...
My little silkie hen was sitting on her eggs and was plucked right off by a stupid dog she was sitting for 6 days and never got off of them in till this happened, can I save the eggs?? I have no incubator I do have a heat lamp?? is it a loss, I'm soooo mad and sad she was a great little girl...
