I'm down to 9 Silkies from the shipped eggs, plus 2 Showgirls and 2 Cochin eggs from my birds. We're on the home stretch now and hoping for a good hatch from the ones that made it this far.

Good luck! I have 9 Silkie eggs due to hatch on Thanksgiving day. Started out with 14 I had shipped from CJs exotics. 3 never started and two stopped developing after about a week. It's the best luck I've had so far for shipped eggs. Keep us posted on your hatch

good luck on babies to be...

Can I ask a size question, about how big are your eggs. My 2 silkies just started laying and I'm trying to find out when is a good time to try to hatch a couple, or 10....LOL

Size wise? Should they be a certain size? 2" maybe? Mine are only 1 and 1/4".

thanks and sorry to snag your post...

best wishes on your hatch, I've check Bobbi's website, she has beautiful birds... I was thinking of just ordering from there. Did you get a better price on eggbid? just wondering...

9 out of 4 dozen

I hope they all hatch

I ended up with 11 out of 2 dozen from Bobbi not to bad.. But mine made it in 1 day. I am in Fl so they didnt have to travel to far.. Wishing you a good hatch

I have 1 1/2 dozen in from the golden egg farm looks like 5 maybe 6

Last hatch from GEF 2 dozen I ended up with 4 whites. But I am happy with anything that wants to pop out

GOOD LUCK!! And happy hatching ooh yah what ever hatches write the names down so you can know who the parents are Bobbi sent me pics after I told her what I ended up with..

I've hatched pullet eggs from my BO's before as an experiment and they hatched just fine. The only difference I noticed was that the chicks were just a tad smaller than the larger hen eggs. So, they will hatch, but if you want nice, big fluffy chicks, go for the larger eggs (but not the double yolkers, of course.)
