Sounds like you need another incubator!


Lol! That's why I originally got a couple Silkie girls but they won't go broody! I've even taken in broody hens from other ppl, but once they get here they won't go broody. Maybe it's because I free range them? Not sure. Probably should get another incubator but my husband probably would not approve.

&@%#^$€+<}{}%^*$*+€€+ MMM! :rant
I just came home and I found that my bator stoped working for several ouers! One of the light bulb burend and caused cucuit! The temp wase 30C
I candeld 2 eggs they seems OK. Hopping for the best!


Oh no! I hope they're all fine. If it makes you feel any better, a few weeks ago, I woke up and my temp was down to 65°. ALL the eggs were cold but I still ended up with a 50% hatch with my turkeys and an 85% hatch on my chickens that were in it. Relax, they should be fine.

It's funny, I have young silkies. They will be a year in May. They showed no signs of going broody, but I put 18 silkie babies into their coop, and the rooster tried to go after them, but the hens protected the babies. I took the babies out after about 2 hours. About 4 days later, one hen went broody, 5 days after that, another went. Only thing I can think is giving them babies, then taking them away, trigger broodiness?????????
