Quote: I USED to have a date with Cashews at least three times a week, now I am told I have diverticulitis and need to change my eats.... I really miss my shews!!
YAY Alyssa is in the house!! OMG serama are so bad, always broody!! Too bad they cant majically keep a doz LF eggs under them lol!! But I have a broody Giant brahma right now!!! I am debating giving her the duck eggs I just set!! And NO way read this thread, although many have, you couldnt pay me to do it! lol The first and second posts have the helpful info in them linked throughout the thread and I TRY to keep pulling it, its nice to get tagged in good info so I dont miss putting it in the notes if its not there!I am pretty sure I won't be able to read this whole thread ; ), but I'd love to join in here and incubate with everyone!
I had the light bulb die in my cabinet incubator but most eggs look to have survived! I lost one Silkie egg but I noticed it had a little hole in the shell that I had missed.
I have two batches of duck eggs in there too. For some reason I try to hatch ridiculously small duck eggs. They are just too adorable... Mini ducklings!
My 11 Silkie eggs are on day 17, these are the first ones from my cabinet so I hope they have lost enough moisture!
I have broodies galore...
Serama 1 has 4 Silkie eggs left on day 15
Serama 2 & 3 sitting on a couple Serama eggs and 7 Silkie eggs on days 12 to 14 I think
Seramas 4 & 5 on 4 Serama eggs and 5 Silkie eggs... Serama eggs are several days ahead of Silkie eggs, will probably just take Silkie eggs out when Seramas hatch.
Salmon Faverolle has 9 Silkie eggs, just on day 4
Silkie is thinking about going broody. She has pretty much figured out the sitting part but hasn't figured out how eggs play into it yet!
I may have ordered some cuckoo Silkie eggs that will come next week so I will help her figure it out! I need to find a better spot for her though, the Silkies all pile on top of each other at night.
The more Silkies I have, the more I love Silkies. They are such crazy cute puff balls, it is hard to believe they are chickens. Even my son is getting excited about chickens and chicks, finally after a few years!
I can't wait to see what everyone else has goin on!

I just said to Heather aabove what I just set and have hatching soon too... tons of stuff going on here! I sold all my silkies to a friend to keep HarmonyAnns new polish chicks and icelandics... not sure where I will go with the icelandics but I will figure that out when the time comes!! anyway!! WELCOME OVER!! @darkbluespace
