I was dumb and thought that I would remember what day I started incubating my silkie eggs. I did not remember and now I’m not sure how much longer they have. Could anyone take a guess based on pics? They are quite active. I saw feet and legs kicking and could see their individual toes inside the egg! It’s much clearer in my video but I tried to get pictures of the best frames to show their feet.

Best way now Is follow the eggs for lockdown
I never follow the book days
I go by my eggs
Rocking around
Air cell jumping forward really fast
Marking it will help you know when it goes up really fast
Shadowing ( pushing ) along the bottom of the air cell
That’s when I start my lockdown
I have not done chicken eggs
Just ducks
In ducks that looks like day 12-14 when you can see body parts clearly
 
The chicks will let you know. Many tips on how far the egg is at. Possibly read some of these hatching posts. Just stay steady with the temps and humidity should be monitored towards the end. You will be ok but probably a sigh of relief when they are hatched.

Thanks! I was just hoping to get a better idea of where they were at so I could clear my schedule around that time so I can watch 😁
