Here is a group photo of the little ones for now. I still have a few in the bator..not sure what's going on there. I will post better photos when they are all dried off.

SO cute!! Where'd you get the eggs? They your own?

 

[Cynthia12]

Oh my goodness. Check out this baby. Think it's comfortable enough? LOL

and yes they are all sitting up. This one was to just a while ago. When I went to take the picture of the other one saw it stretched out had to get the photo. I just love me a silky or two or three or four...

I have a single egg in lockdown. It's the only one of a test group to make it to lockdown. It's not due till Wednesday but it's pipped internally and I heard a couple little chirps maybe I'll get a early baby to spoil! Sould be a pure silkie and will be spoiled rotten since the next group isn't due till new years weekend. I'm excited to see if it's a splash like it's Mamma or a blue like it's Daddy

Do you have a gas stove/oven or some source of wood heat?
Bake some rocks or bricks and put them in the incubator.
87 for over an hour is a bit of an issue if they've been incubating more than a week.
