Ron they are on day 15 i figure they will hatch around the 6th of march. though the way things are going now they wont have any buddies to join in the brooder. ive lost 11 and now one of my last two black silkies is weak and just laying there in the brooder i hand fed him and his crop is full but hes just getting weaker. i doubt he wil make it to morning

That is so sad!

I hope at least two make it for you. They do much better with friends.

Cacklejoy my mom said if nothing else she will pay for a few more and they will give free chicjs for however many died (basically we would get 11 free but would have to buy the difference

Hopefully your next batch are shipped in warmer weather and thrive!

This is partially my fault i wanted them earlyy in the year so i could have them grown by aug for fair and now look they are all ******* dieing (excuse the language)

You can tell if your chicks are warm enough by feeling their feet and legs... They should be warm, not cool or cold.
