    Hatching rate on shipped eggs.

    Hi everyone, I am getting ready to order some eggs from Florida and they will be in transit for 3 days (if USPS has their crap together). There will only be 8 eggs and I want to know if anyone here has ordered eggs like this, via mail, and what your hatch rate was.

    What is wrong with this goofy hen?

    I have this little silkie hen and this is her first time getting broody but I wonder if she has taking the job a little too far. I have removed her eggs and they are hatching in an incubator, but she still insists on sitting on the empty nest. She hasn't laid another egg in over a week and I...

    Did I screw up?

    I am now incubating my 2nd set of eggs and I have the Brinsea Mini Advanced incubator. I put the eggs in a couple of days ago, but I totally forgot to add the water until this morning. So they went 20 hours or so without humidity. Did I totally ruin my eggs, or is there still hope?

    Silkie boy or girl. Can anyone tell?

    These are my 2 babies. I got them from a breeder just last week and they are my first silkies ever. I know it is hard to sex these guys when they are so young, but I am hoping someone here might be able to tell. The breeder thinks that the gray one is a male due to the blue on his cheeks.
