So my silkies egg hatched at around midnight last night!!! YAY!!

My speckled sussex was getting lonely!

Funny thing is this time, I was in bed asleep and hubs came in and woke me up this time because it had hatched,

opposite from yesterday morning,

Still no other pips though...

65% humidity is high for day 11, you should be around 45% until you go into lockdown, then you want to get it up to 65% to 70% humidity.

My B'day is the 15th...and the silkies are one week old today...and doing great...they are beautiful colors and have huge puffs/bumps on their heads...they should turn out great...

and yes i am limited to 25 chickens here in Atlanta...funny thing was when I first looked into it 3 years ago and read that the limit was 25 chickens i laughed and said, "who would have that many? crazy!"...now I have 36!!!! with my 10 new chicks...10 in the garage (2 months old) and past ready for their coop...and 16 big girls out in the coops/yard...

sssshhhhh don't tell anyone....

so you can see why I had to give that 2 doz. CJ eggs away...too many even for a crazy chicken person...

I'm not suppose to have ANY. I live in the boonies, I have 16 acres and my closest neighbor isn't within sight. I asked around to everyone within hearing distance if they minded. They didn't, and another person already had chickens. So I said what the heck and got some! There are cows, horses, goats, etc but there is a restriction on fowl and swine. I will fight it if I have to!!
