    8 of 12 eggs never hatched

    I am brand new to incubation! I set 12 eggs on 2/19 and only 4 hatched as of 3/12 (hatch day was 3/11). I’ve got 12 more to set but I want to have better luck next time. I’m not sure what we did wrong. I had 3 silkies and the rest were a mix of brahmas, RIR, and Orpington. The next 11 I have are...

    Looking for paint silkies! (Any colour)

    I'm looking for paint silkie chicks/eggs! Any gender, but pullets are preferred. I live out of America, so it'd be preferred if it's someone who also does, or ships well. It doesn't have to be someone here, but if you know breeders who can, please tell me. Thank you! :p

    Are my silkie's eggs too dark for a silkie?

    Silkie eggs are supposed to be white or cream according to the standard of perfection. My growout pullets just started laying and the eggs look a bit too dark for a silkie to me. What do we think? Now I'm not sure if the girls laying these are my own bred girls or the ones I bought as hatching...

    Are silkie eggs to sensitive to candle?

    Good Morning, I’m incubating for the first time with silkie eggs. Should I candle them? I’ve heard they’re tough to incubate and some people don’t candle. However, I’m worried about bacteria and removal of bad eggs. Insight is much appreciated! 🐣 Thank yo8, Tracey

    Silkie egg due to hatch today

Since my rooster is a silkie I decided it would be best to use my silkie eggs to try and hatch. I only put 1 egg in since I have several other chicks from a friend's incubator. I...
