    Pip hours ago, is no peeping ok, first time incubating and a real mess

    I did the same thing. Don't beat yourself up too bad. Incubating and hatching is a big learning process. Its just a bummer when we have to learn by mistakes! Let me know if you get a chick! Im expecting silkies today too so I feel your anticipation!

    Good luck! Any news yet. I've had a hard time hatching silkies. They are such sensitive creatures. Mine took over 12 hours after pip to break free. Also had one that waited til day 23 to hatch. The rest around day 22. Seems they just need more patience than other eggs which is hard when your so...

    December incubating

    I get all my eggs right here at home :) I have a soft spot for crested birds and I love seeing the colors of the new babies. Silkies have been difficult to hatch but they are so worth it! Good luck everyone!!!

    HELP!! My ducks are dying unexpectedly... .

    Good point! The straw I use is from broken bales the neighbors had. They have been out all summer and it's super dusty when I haul it. Maybe thats why it stopped when I sprayed the coop but started again as soon as the top layer was dug through again. My birds get into the alfalfa bales but that...

    Didnt get all the questions answered. I have blue and black swedish, white crested, and a runner. My goose is an african grey. I called the vet and they recommended an autopsy which means I have to wait for another to die :(

    In the past two weeks I've lost 6 ducks! All of my ducks are 6 month old give or take. All have been very happy and healthy up until recently.
