Need all your opinions please. I have a silkie that has gone broody for the first time. My question is should I let her sit on eggs as I'm near spokane and we haven't reached the coldest point of the year yet? I know people do it on the other side of the state but don't know on this side as we...
Get Twinkies and put the hottest hot sauce you can get in them. Bears like sweets but now hot things. It is what got rid of the bear that came into our yard when I was younger.
At 22 weeks I am going with pullet as I so absolutely no hint of sickles. My BO roo started to attempt to crow at 8 weeks and by 10 was clearly a roo as he had sickle feathers starting. Also I see no spur growth my roo had huge spurs around the age yours is.
It stopped moving so did a full egg topsy and what had happend is the chick was mal positioned and pipped through it yolk sack and the membrane filling the egg with the yolk sack.

Thanks y'all for the sympathy. I have a lot more eggs set in the incubator or going to be in the incubator soon. It is just upsetting because my hatch for the 8/2 went very poorly and I only have one chick from 18 but she even might not make it so this is just frustrating.
I don't quite understand the moisture thing. Is it pooling on the egg or is the egg laying in it. Also does it smell if yes chuck it before it turns into a egg bomb.
