Do Silkie chicks hatch earlier???

[Maggie1030]

Hi I have 6 Silkie chicks on day 14 in the incubator. Do Silkie chickens hatch earlier then other chickens? If so when should I put my eggs on Lockdown?

Hello I hatched 5 silkies last year and ive heard they can somtimes hatch on day 19 -20 but I found all mine hatched on day 21 so I would recommend lockdown in a few more days

They don't hatch any different to any other breed, on day 21 in optimum conditions. Lockdown on day 18 as normal and they should be fine.

A Chicken by any other name is still just a Chicken.
