AWWWWW!!!!! Well... it looks like im slowly losing eggs. its day 14, and i have a few eggs with no movement. I will leave them in until tomorrow just to be sure

Hatching is hard. The next time, im buying an incubator with an automatic turner and a FAN. Lol, i need $130 for that.

that i get enough.
BTW the silkie chicks are sooooooooo cute!!!!

Here's mine. They started hatching early this morning and just finished. There are 2 still wet as you can tell. I'll post better ones when they are all dry. The one in the far back left side isn't a silkie but a mix but the others are silkies. That other one is the one that was laid by a white polish/silkie mix and the roo is the same as the others was a black lavender split

There is a little movement in my eggs, but no pipping yet. Today is day 20 or 21 depending on if you count the first day they are in the incubator as day 1 or wait 24hrs. Still waiting...

My next lock down date is the 11th. There are only 3 that made it this far. I usually set anywhere from 12 to 16 at a time. Fertility isn't what I would like it to be but at least I'm getting some. I don't need too many to have to live in the house till they are feathered.

The little gold or buff colored one, I don't know which hen it came from. The roo is a black lavender split and my hens are white, black, blue and partridge. I don't think it's partridge because I think I have all hers marked. Besides the other's besides one of the black ones are hers with the same roo. There is a black one that came from a white polish/silkie mix and she has recessive black. I suppose thats why it turned out black.

What color is the light colored one? My silkies came from somebody that separates their birds in pens by color so I don't suppose it's from the roo. He came from a lavender split pen and he is mostly black. Well here he is. He fathered all these chicks.
