i have a non broody silkie outside
and i incubator hatched 4 chicks
would it be safe to put those chicks in with the silkie hen and her roo
would she adopt them?
havent heard anything from the eggs, im giving it a couple more days, and if nothing else im cleaning up the bator.
3 out of 8 arent looking so hot, but the other 5 are looking great
I had a very successful hatch, several mutts, a black sex link, and two silkies, and a turken!!
Two seem to be laying down and arent as active as the others, could this mean death?
UPDATE -
One more egg in the bator is rocking!!!!!! Uh oh!
well im going to have atleast three out of the batch.
one is out, one is cutting through its eggs pretty good, and one is rocking with one little whole
i hope the others hatch, ive got some purebred silkie eggs in there i know are fertile because they're to a pair.
how long until the chick is out? i just am hearing pipping and theres a hole in one of the eggs
and i thank its day 17
can someone give me some advice on waht to do now?
