Well, the little one finally hatched, all is well, it is doing great, the other 2 picked on it a little, because I put it in the brooder 2 days later. We now have 3 adorable silkie chicks and are very happy that something finally hatched. Thanks for your help and information that I'll be able...

The breed is a white silkie. We started last year, with 2, for 4H, well, oh well. We are hooked. We have 14 chickens in the custom made coop my husband made, adding another coop in the spring. This is a sickness, but we love them. Actually, we have 3 Lavender Ameracaunas, 2 Easter eggers...

We have 2 little ones that hatched yesterday, another one started 1 1/2 days after the others, the shell is cracked, a piece fell, I heard him peep, but there is no hole in the membrane, the others put a hole in the shell and membrane at the same time. Is this ok? If it isn't ok, when would I...
