Rubynala97 silkies are supposed to have 5 toes, that's the extra one you are seeing. Nice hatch you had. I am getting ready to hatch 24 silkies 12 from one person 12 from another. My last hatch most came out fine from one and all didn't hatch from another but died around day 20. In same...
Well carcar I have locked down on right before day 20 but just watch for pips or put in an egg carton at lockdown maybe, I have heard of people who do that. I locked down late day 18 and by morning they were already pipping. Now finishing up day 19 :weeeand all 10 have hatched and 2 more pips...
Isn't that the way it works, boys boys and more boys. I went and picked up 5 blue laced red standouts and 4 were boys!! So far I have 4 early puppets so hope to get so
e good babies, sleepless night ahead
Well no twins just one chick in the egg who died shortly after the pic, these are some of the worst shipped eggs. I went from having a 90% hatch to nearly all being clear or quitters what a bummer! Hope to have a few of each hatch okay and they are all girls. Ha ha hope anybody still out...
good to know cuz I picked up and felt it's legs up what a big juicy boy he is. Gonna have to take care of him really soon. he is funny when the food comes out he waddle/runs then lays down to eat I'm sure you know what I am talking about.
Watched it, no pressure huh? Well I hope they make it still have a while to go about 8-10 days since silkies. Not sure where they will fit the egg is pretty small. Thanks for info
I am on day 7 and I can't wait to candle hope my americaunas and silkies are growing. Also hope my mutts make it. I got a new incubator and not sure about temp the built in one reads 2 degrees above my other. I put it in the middle and crossing fingers. Hope you all are having great hatches.
Okay I am back. Since I have so many boys who will be sold or dinner I ordered more silkies in colors and some Ameraucana eggs so excited. I think I will put a few of my eggs in to see what comes out they are very fertile I cracked 20 open for frit at a and all were good, kind of eggsiting not...
I had the same problem and would open and then my others wouldn't make it so now I do not open and I have lots of fuzzbutts running around. Be strong you can do it once you see all your new babies it is worth it
I have tried alot of different methods and my last two hatches have been awesome so I have a forced air with egg turner I set eggs 12 hours after arrival so air sacs can settle, my humidity is about 30 to 35 for first 18 days. I candle one time at 8 days then just make sure no stinkers...
