What does a silkie egg look like? I ask because I went out and found my silkie pullet sitting right beside an egg....and if it hers I'll hold off on incubating...if its one of the cochins I'll set it. It looks the same color and size as my cochin hens' eggs...a lil more oblong.

I have eggs due Thursday of this week. Then I have eggs that I set on the 22nd , and 27 others that I set on the 2nd and 3rd. Well yesterday my Exoterra incubator croaked...so I now have all of them in the lg, that I hatch in. I have just ordered a genesis 1588, but the earliest it will be here...

I have my silver duckwing EE roo over my redstar hens and white leghorn hens. And my mottled frizzle cochin roo over my smooth blue cochin hen and white cochin hen. I have 2 chicks (both a month old)from my frizzle and blue hen, both frizzled...one black and one appears to be black mottled.

Okay so the first three are due Friday, ther are from my red sex link hens and my easter egger roo, he's. Silver duckwong color. What color chicks might be hatched? And how possible are some olive egg layers from this cross? Really don't care either way. But anxious to see chick colors. The...

I have an ExoTerra incubator, just finished a hatch with it. Loved it held gteat humidity, and temp was steady all along. Its basically a still air, and there is a difference between shelves in temp. I would like to add a fan so I can use more space in it. I'm collecting eggs from my sex link...

I have six lil ones, by Friday they will all be a week old......when can I put shavings down?

And I don't think its gonna make it. Why are there still so many veins covering the air cell? Its day 20. Bantam cochin.

Love it!! Its a Coleman Max LED with adjustable beam ultra bright. It's 110 lumens. Does a great job on my cochin eggs...I can see EVERYTHING!!!!! It illuminates the darkest of my rsl eggs really well.

I have eggs in the bator with lockdown dates of 7/30, 8/1, and 8/3....can I combine them? My plan was to lockdown in my LG but I can't get the humidity stable. So I was wondering if I could lock them down together, then I could hatch out in my cabinet style. Thoughts? My 8/3 lockdown eggs I...

Every morning I rotate eggs around in the bator...I have a small little keychain light, that as I'm moving them around I do a quick check. I don't even take them out of the cartons. I just shine the light through the top, really quick...I don't look for the chick just veining. Typically goes...

My neigjbors got a new camper and gave me the heating and cooling mini fridge that they used on their pop up camper. I want to convert is to an incubator...it still works. Anyways it looks a lot like the exoterra incubator I have, minus the glass door. Where should I add ventilation holes, top...

Okay so I ordered 12 eggs...received 14...2 were completely scrambled. All had damaged air cells, except for 2 that look normal. Well I put them in Saturday evening, after resting them. I candled them this afternoon, keeping them vertical, pressed for space in the bator and wanted to see if...

Bought 12..15 shipped...box was crushed on top. No cracked or broken eggs though. 2 okay air cells....the reat have loosened air cells with one completely detached. I have 4 blue mottleds, 6. Lemon blue, and 4 mille fleur (all cochins) I let them rest for the day, and then placed them in the...

I have six of her eggs in the bator, with 100% development. Yesterday morning she layed, and we collected her egg. That afternoon I went to the coop to check waters and found her back in the nest box. I approached, and she screamed like a velociraptor (sp?) LoL She's been there since. So far she...

And it's dead.....I candle every morning because my son wants to do a folder to take back to school. Yesterday morning I had a bouncing baby, that I could hardly photograph through the veins and with it moving so much. This morning teeny spider veins and the baby chick floating at the top, no...

This is Speckles...he was sold to me as an Ameraucana, as a young chick. When I posted here with 4 day old baby pics I was told he was an Easter Egger....I have no idea but I think he's turned out handsome, I love his color but have no idea what to call it. LOL

Okay so this new one has a fan that seams to only run when the heat needs to come on......so do I do it as a still air or as a forced air for temp? I was thinking set it for 100. It's held steady temp for over 24 hours now, without a single change.....unless I open the door of course. LOL

So I had set 6 eggs previously...day 5 I saw nothing.so I decided to open one...fertilized bullseye and that was it. Waited 2 more days..nothing on the rest, so I opened them too. All fertile bullseyes except for one that looked like a day 1 or 2 quitter. I opened these to try and learn what I...

Okay I have 6 Lillian bantam Cochin eggs in the LG still air ... it's holding temp pretty steady. My question is is that I have a thermometer nesteled between the eggs, it reads 100 (just read about bumping it up to 101 -102) however the 2 digitalis that I have on the sides are reading about...

I have a banty coop, It's mainly cochins, but my Silkie is in there as well as my Golden Sebright pullet. I knew my blue cochin pullet was getting close to ready to lay, and Saturday we got our first egg from that coop. HOWEVER I don't know if she's the only one laying, The egg I got...
