Chick seems to be fine with the brace and even stands on it when I took it off today. I went ahead and put it back on as I am going out of town on Sunday and don't think DH can keep it up while I'm gone. When I put the brace on again today I noticed the the 4th and 5th toes of the opposite foot...

Thanks Eggcessive! I've done some research and it's possible that that is what it is. The hock does look a little flatter than the other one but I can't feel the tendon anywhere. I went ahead and put a brace on the leg. Not sure I got it on correctly, the chick wasn't actually cooperating! It...

Hi there. I hope I'm doing this correctly. I have a 2 1/2 week old silkie chick that was doing great until yesterday morning. I noticed that it was holding its right leg off the ground and wouldn't walk on it. The leg it self seems to be fine, full range of motion, no obvious injuries, able to...

I'm particularly interested in lavender and blue although I'm OK with other colors. Where are you shipping from? I've looked but don't remember off the top of my head. I understand that hatching shipped eggs is more difficult and I didn't have good luck with my first batch but love silkies so am...

Good Morning! Do you still have silkie eggs for sale?

If you still have eggs, I'd be interested in getting some. I'm particularly interested in the lavender. Thanks!

Just saw this thread and I have the same problem. Of my five viable eggs, all of them have the air sac at the small end. If I'm understanding the advice correctly, I should mark the air sac and on day 18 lay them on their side with the lowest dip pointing toward the lid of the incubator? Do I...

I've just candled my eggs and of the viable ones, all of the air sacs are at the small end. I'm at day 14 now. Don't remember this happening the last time I set eggs and don't understand why all the air sacs would be on the wrong end. I have an automatic turner and the eggs have always been...

Anyone know of any lavender silkie chicks for sale in North Texas?

Is there any amount of time after treating with Corid that you should avoid eating the eggs?

One hatched last night at 11:24 pm and one early this AM. Still waiting on 2 others. No pips yet. They are slightly bigger eggs, don't know if that makes a difference. How long should I wait before I assume they aren't going to hatch? This is my first hatch and I lost the mother to the...

Hi Diana, I live 30 miles east of Dallas and have just lost my one layer. Where is Aubrey exactly? I'd love to pick up some RIR if you're not too far away. Thanks, Cheryl

I'm at day 14 with my first hatch. I candled last Friday and thought I only had 2 viable eggs out of five. Tonight I have 4 viable eggs! I have one that clear but since this is my first time I'm nervous about taking it out in case I'm just not seeing it correctly. How long can I leave it in the...

How are you monitoring your temperature. I have a 1602N and just set my first eggs yesterday. I have 4 thermometers and all of them read differently! Anyway from 99F to 106F. I'm going crazy trying to figure out which one I should believe!

How high does the humidity have to be?

I have one of those coming today too!!

If you're collecting eggs from your own hens, are you suppose to turn them while you're collecting enough to put in the incubator? Thanks, Cheryl

Would like to get some RIR and/or EE eggs to try in my new incubator. Would prefer to pick up if possible. I'm a little east of Dallas. Thanks, Cheryl

Hey Josh, I don't have an extra RIR rooster but I do have 4 EE cockerals. Want one? Cheryl
