My little silkie girl went broody so on the 16th of September i got 3 cream legbar eggs for her. I candled at day 7 and all seemed to be going well. Then on day 20ish I thought the hen should go into lockdown (she doesnt really know what to do brooding wise, i have to manually lift her off to feed every morning or she wont move) so she stayed put from then but unfortunately soiled the nest (not on the eggs, it was a bit behjnd them) so I think thats where it went wrong maybe.
a day or so past and nothing from the eggs so i had to lift her off to eat and poop again. Now its day 24 and the eggs havent done a thing. This morning I took them from her and put them in my incubator which was running. I candled them briefly and all were properly developed in the last stage, filling up the whole egg with good air sacs. I didnt see any movement though.
Are they dead? Ill be so disappointed because the silkies mom died and now she is on her own and i thought this would fix it but now she will still be by herself..
