Mine all hatched out just fine -
4 out of 7 that were shipped - no complaints - and I knew three were no good by day 5 anyway but gave them until day 14 just in case - you never know, right ? - (two detached air cells and one just didn't develop) Day 21 was yesterday - and one had started the night before - three of the four were hatched by 8pm and the last was about a day behind - and hatched first thing this am. I have some pics, and will post them as soon as I can - my computers are having issues lately. grrr.
Anyway - there is a black, a grey, a silver and one that has a little of everything - some grey, black, silver and brown fuzz. sooo cute - especially when the peek out from under momma. I didn't use a bator - I have a couple of broody silkies.
Only problem I have now is that the other broody silkie wants chicks too ! she keeps pacing in front of the nest box with the chicks - poor thing - I feel bad for her now - hope she doesnt try to steel any !
