I've got 11 eggs currently in my incubator they are pure white non bearded silkies... this is my first attempt at hatching Silkies, if successful I think I'll become addicted!!!!
Its day 5 and I can hardly wait to candle them
I've been keeping myself occupied by reading everyones stories about their incubating experiences, I purchased my eggs from a breeder here in Australia, after they travelled almost 800kms thankfully only 1 egg was broken
So I have a couple of questions.......
Any information from your personnel experiences would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks

I've been keeping myself occupied by reading everyones stories about their incubating experiences, I purchased my eggs from a breeder here in Australia, after they travelled almost 800kms thankfully only 1 egg was broken
So I have a couple of questions.......
- Since these eggs are bantam sized when could I candle day 8, 10 or earlier?
- Some say they can hatch earlier then larger breeds, does this mean I should pump the humidity up at day 16/17?
- And what sized bulb (watts) do I need for my brooder? I've been searching but can't seem to just get a simple answer
Any information from your personnel experiences would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
