Well we have 2 little silkies that have made their appearance into the world
On day 20, the yellow one is a strong little thing and so curious, she said I pippped this egg I'll rest a bit then bam shot herself right out lol

The black silkie has only the 5 toes on one foot.

Two are in the middle of hatching now, today is day 21
2.still haven't popped

Daryll my neighbors black silk is probably the dad if most of these (I am hatching them for her) she is going to give me half
I've seen Daryll chase those ladies around the yard and the non silkies
Jump up in the trees to get away from him
Clever girls

thank you for asking, my number 6 did not hatch, it seems like it made to almost full "term" but no pip ever happened

but 5 out of 6 is pretty good, considering she just scooped 6 random eggs out of her nesting boxes. I was actually surprised they were all fertile, she really doesn't eat eggs so she doesn't collect them often.

last time I incubated 6 eggs only 5 hatched too.
