First Silkie hatched!

[Chic Chick]

This is the very first silkie to hatch here, and I'm hoping for at least one more to keep it company . Mama went broody the beginning of January for the second time so I felt sorry for her and gave her some eggs. Of course we're going into another cold snap here......

How cute! How many eggs is she still sitting on?

Oh, my! Beautiful!!

Thanks! She's sitting on 4 more eggs and I hear one pecking but nothing yet from the others. I'm surprised that any are hatching because one morning I found her out of the cage somehow (a 4 foot drop) and the eggs were cold -very cold, but I put her back in just on the chance that miracles happen.

I can't believe this is taking so long!! Came home today to a pip and another one chirping inside the egg. So that's over 24 hours with only 1 hatch - not at all like an incubator where they all seem to hatch out within the 24 hours...
It's -30C here at night and I think I'll bring them all into the house so they will have a better chance of hatching and surviving.
