Too cute! Great hatch! Leave the others in until day 24. Did you listen to them to see if they were peeping?

I love the fuzzys too, that's why I got Silkies. They STAY fuzzy! and Cute! Forever! (mostly

)..

The other three are not moving, peeping or pipping I am going to leave them for a bit but I fear the worst

Everyone has told me that 12 out of 15 is an amazing first hatch and I can see that but I was really hoping for all of them to hatch

A fools dream I know lol

Did you candle to see what it looks like inside?

Did you float test to see if there was any movement you couldn't discern by your naked eye?

Yes, 12 out of 15 is an amazing first hatch.. but if there is a chance those are still alive and they just need some more time - I would do it.

If there is movement in the float test (and use nice warm water and dry them off) then put them back in.

If there is still nothing.. poke a teeny tiny hole in the very center of the aircell and look inside using the candling light. Hopefully you will see movement then. If there is any blood stop opening and put it back in...

I hope they are just resting or late to the party...

Never bad to dream, nothing foolish in that.

I have not done a water test. I have sat and watched them for 10 mins. Making noise shinning my light on them nothing. I think I will give them tonight then do what you suggested. Thanks for the advice. I was trying to leave them at the perfect heat and hum. not wanting to disturb them to much. But I think tomorrow will be the day to check it out

EE X RIR..... Hmmmm I think that cross will be interesting because RIR have can be very mean an a EE tend to be docile so I wonder if a RIR X EE would make like a even tempered chicken? I know that my chickens are Ameraucana X RIR an they are MEAN

Chickens R Us in large pan or bowl fill it up with warm water. Slowly put eggs in water Do not put eggs in if theres a crack or chipped. what for any movements ! if the eggs sank to the bottom its dud eggs.
