I have silkies that hatched 11/29 and I would LOVE to move them outside, but they don't have nearly as many feathers as yours appear to have!

I have THIRTY THREE CHICKS now!!!

12 from my White leghorn rooster, Captain Jack.
20 from Garfunkel, my True Ameraucana, wheaten variety
and one from my sneaky buff laced Polish, Ringo

one more pip and two eggs that have done NOTHING.
Day 22 started at 9pm last night so I'll give those two some extra time.

Oh, and I fixed my humidity issue by taking fluffy chicks out of the incubator. No more cloudy windows here! LOL

Thank you. I set 42 but 4 were duds. Two died between the first candling and lockdown, so that left me with 36. I'm hatching as many as I can because I'm trying to improve egg color in my easter egger flock. I want them to be as blue as they can get! The leghorn was only allowed to be in the coop because my Ameraucana boy was a slow starter and needed some tips LOL. Silly guy kept falling forward!!!

Oh, and I am very happy with my black Ameraucana from Mouw lines because he proved him self capable just yesterday! He will be replacing Captain Jack.

LOL, sounds like he's figured it out though! Not bad especially for a youngster!

Good luck on the color improvement. Keep us posted on how it's going!
