I know that I have not had much to say on this forum but everything has been going great,

Untill last night

-- my incubator is diffrent than any of yours in that it has 2 outside turn handles that I rotate every 4 hrs or so, 5 times a day. anyway I went to turn it last night a 12 A.M. and it wast stuck! WTH!! I messed with a while and got them to turn some, the went to bed and dreamed of 50 diffrent things that could be wrong and how to fix them. this morning I went in and could see better and found that some of the new ring size material had gotten stuck, I ordered a ring just for banty eggs because the were so much smaller then the other ones I had on hand.
The only thing I could do was warm some towels in the dryer and take all the eggs out & place them between the warm folds while I worked on the turner. It went very well and I had not had them out long so decided to do my first candeling - I had to have them out and I had not candled before. I have 17 Bantum eggs from a BYC member in there and I could see actual movement in at least 5 - 2 I think are clear- 2 are very dark and I set them by themselves will check them again tonight, 2 possible blood ring -one other is very porous and is clear I think, the rest I can 't tell yet. what I could not see though was the state of the air sack. So I guess that is my next worry. These little eggs traveld from Maryland to Oregon...Edit to show pics.Well here are the pics I took tonight ,to me, novice at candleing -one looks very porus and clear, one looks good but where is air sack? and the other one is what, half and half? I hope some one will help me.

So I went to TSC to look for Silkies. Well, I drive 40 mins because I called and they said they had Bantams but they didnt know anythig else. I arrived to find Silkies!!! At least I think they are. TSC had no clue.

You decide!

I will take better pics once I get their brooder ready.

Do they have black skin and 5 toes? If so, congratulations on your Silkie babies!

ETA: Just saw the bottom pic -- yep, Silkies. How fun.
