Here is the silkie in question - thought hen but now wondering roo -

Trying to figure out what’s going on. Silkie flock - one maybe roo originally thought was female - are these fertilized eggs or not? Thank you!

Help....an egg has a crack - there is a line and then a little hole/circles of cracks like a bullet hole almost looking (sorry idk how else to describe)- is this it hatching or something else? They haven’t been dropped or anything and Tina is sitting religiously on them...

Thank you! I will have to google what this means as a first timer! Appreciate your reply!

Okay ... any guesses how old these eggs are? No they’re not dead they’re very much alive it’s the bad photograph/er/y and janky candling situation Eggs are adopted - have moved her and eggs inside today because of weather and getting pecked on bf other hen

Don’t listen to me! I have absolutely not a single clue 😂. They’re all beautiful and quite fluffy and fabulous!

Silkies are notoriously hard - I was wondering about my year old hen until she laid an egg :rolleyes: ! I’d guess the beautiful black one might be a roo but that’s just a pure guess based on nothing but stance

Thank you so much! That particular little guy seems to have a lot of room to move and is busy....from what I’ve read it doesn’t seem he/she would be adjusting itself so much if further along? But I truly have no idea

Thank you so very much for your reply! (I’ve become a little obsessed with making sure these eggs are okay since losing the other three ...so truly appreciated!) the person I got them from gave them To me for my broody hen on the 16th of June and wasn’t sure of date - but I swear these look...

Just an update -unfortunately none of the 3 bantam eggs made it. They all went bad several days after these pics. Blood rings then leaking/weeping (not sure of term) thank you all for replies! Still hoping the 7 silkies make it

Following! Best of luck on your hatch!

ETA. - 2 pictures below Can be anywhere from 11-15 I guess. Silkie sitting on adopted eggs. Apologies I know this isn’t the best picture but this is the result of a rather janky candling situation and a very excited 6 year old photographer :)

Gah! I’m thinking one viable! The veiny one -sorry posted too early - I’ll recheck and let you guys know!

Thank you very much!

Thank you! Sorry that is actually in a pitch black dark room - but the flashlight is one of those damn LED ones that’s so tiny but waaaaay too bright! I’ll try later with another light not shipped - got them from a friend who has tons of chickens and eggs because my Silkie went badly badly...

Okay.... Tina turner, my silkie is sitting on 10 adopted eggs - 3 of which are bantam. I’m concerned about the bantam eggs.They’re allegedly 5 days old but maybe could be 7? When I candle them....they’re really weird and watery looking with layers. I’m assuming they’re not Viable and I’m...

Hodge podge of these three little fellas! Would love to know what they are!! three separate chicks - labeled a and b and C
