I am hatching my VERY first eggs. I have 14 laying chickens that don't have access to a rooster. I have 4 silkies that have a silkie roo. So, I'm hatching silkie eggs. The first ones should hatch on the 26th, then I put in 7 more for the 1/1 HAL. Then I added 5 more a few days later. All silkies.
I do have 2 silkies that were hatched from shipped eggs - but someone else hatched them for me. They hatched the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I got them back a few weeks ago and they looked lonely, so I bought 10 more chicks to keep them company. 5 EEs, 2 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Dominique, 1 Black Austerlaup and 1 New Hampshire Red. They all range from 10 to 14 days old.
How about you?
