Incubating Shipped Silkie Eggs

[ThinMintTheChicken]

Think the colours so far are Partridge, Black, Grey, White or lemon (not quite sure) and a sort of ginger colour

Wow! Those are going to be some beautiful chickens!

Looks like it kinda pipped towards the middle so a little blood is expected when they do that. But don’t worry I have had chicks hatch and be just fine whenever they do that. Congrats on your hatches!! It’s so exciting! Silkies are very sweet birds I just got three this year and they hardly ever leave my side when I’m in the coop.

Ya mine r the same! Follow me around, and they have been rockstars laying eggs! One has laid an egg almost every day since she started back in july. The other went broody so had a couple months off, and the third went broody just shortly after she started laying. I gave her 4 eggs which she hatched and has been a stellar mama! I love my silkies!

Can't wait to see how many of flynncahills hatch out

Aw, congrats on the two that have hatched! We have 6 chicken eggs underneath our broody turkey that are going to hatch sometime this week! Little chicks are just the cutest <3

Awesome!

Here is how they stack up with an Americauna (Nellie) and Maran (Blanche) eggs, these eggs are huge, even bigger than store bought large eggs!

The other two are the Silkie eggs (Fluffy McNugget and Curly McNugget).

The suspense is killing me, but I reckon I won’t be getting any until spring time with winter coming on. Btw beautiful eggs!!

Still only 5/6 so far, all looking healthy and eating/drinking still 1 more egg in the incubator that has plenty of time

Wow that's a great hatch rate!

Wow that's a great hatch rate!

Technically it was out of 12, but 6 of the eggs were infertile, but out of the 6 that were fertile it’s 5/6. And I know that the last does have a chick inside. Quite a good hatch rate
