Well I’m in. My first hatch was a few weeks back, nine eggs and five hatched. Now I’m setting twenty four and so far looks like twenty three developing. On day four now. Expecting April 5th. +/- hatch day. Tried for Easter but got busy.
They are twenty silkie eggs and four largefoul eggs. LF = Two green eggs and two tan/light brown. There are miscellaneous defects and issues with a few of these eggs. Some have significant cracks, some are odd shaped and a couple have odd shell deficiencies that make candling difficult. I’m on the lazy mans turning schedule which is every morning and night, and afternoon of I remember. I figured in nature they may or may not know which to discard or which not too. So far everyone’s growing except one silkie egg, I think.
Here’s to going off the deep end.
