Update: 4 out 5 eggs successfully hatched, unfortunately number 5 pipped but passed sometimes in the first 24 hours, the other 4 chicks pipped and fully hatched within 1 hour so I assumed number 5 didn't make it. Even though it remained under mama hen this whole time, the interior was dried out.

We had 3 silkies in total, 2 roosters and 1 hen, and based off they looked when they were chicks, 2 was fathered by the rooster that's still with us, and 1 was fathered by my boy that passed, the other looks too much like mama to tell who the father is.

But the 4 that survived the hatching stage look very healthy and already ready to explore

The pictures only show a couple of the chicks
That’s a great update
I’m glad you got at least one from your boy
