Thanks Muscovymad. Your chick is adorable. My fiesty little one is holding her own. She likes to run up and down me and poop on me. Here is a pic She does like to talk a lot! I'm working on getting her some friends.

Update--I candled the remaining 3 eggs this morning and they were dead. I opened them and 2 probably quit just before lockdown and 1 quit in lockdown. So I have one fiesty baby in a brooder box with a stuffed bear, food and water. While I am sad that this happened, I understand that it does...

theberlinfam--the chicks are really tiny! I cant believe how tiny!!! I have to get a smaller box today at work. My chick is doing well but still no pips from the other eggs. This is day 22. Little chick knocked on of the eggs over running around. She sounds so lonely chirping away in the...

Day 21--nothing yet. I though I heard chirping around lunchtime yesterday then nothing. The eggs look like they are in the same position they were when I went to bed last night. I am trying so hard not to worry. This is worse than when I was waiting for my own kids to be born!!! I am still...

I will be dreaming that my eggs hatched. Hopefully, when I wake up, maybe something will have happened! This is crazy!!!!

So this is day 20 and still nothing happening. They are all (4) silkie eggs and were all moving when I candled them before locking them down. I do have them in a cut down egg carton with the pointy end down. I check them frequently and notice that they are in different positions at different...
