I'm in a predicament. ...
I dont k ow if my pen area run is big enough for my silkies. I have 14 (8 silkies, 4 sizzles, and 2 s.g)
The pen is a wire chicken wire the 50 food one. Is that ok? I'd let free range but me neighbors an idiot lol.
I plan on not allowing my sizzles eggs to hatch. I...
Question. .
I have eggs in bator but lost paper that had hatch date and set date. I cracked one open to see if I could tell.
The silkie chick had feathers. Feet. Beak had the egg pip on it. There was still a lot of yolk.
I have no idea when to stop turning them. Help
Question. .
I completely forgot what day I put eggs in bator. I wrote it down but the paper was misplaced. Have no idea. The embryo isn't very old. You can see its big eyeball and moving. No features to tell but you know it's the eye.
I'm not good at measuring but the embryo may be around...

Guys...
My silkies are in need of new type of bedding. I read about sand and liked what I saw. I just don't know where to get it...I dont need a lot.there sleep area is 4 ft by 4ft.. Idk what to get I'm confused.
It seems hard to find roos. Homes anymore. Unless some chicks I hatch I sell and they must go with the chicks. That worked last time...I'm hoping they change to female lol
Questions..

This one is giving me mixed views. The mother had a larger comb as well and is a larger hen then my other silkies. So I can't go by comb. It walks like a hen. It doesn't get into any fights with my...
