[sandracollins]

Have already posted here I have 6 cuckoo silkie eggs under my own silkie but now another one gone broody !!!!!!!! Cant decide weather to put some call duck eggs under her .Its her first time to go broody and boy is she mean if I even go in to the coop she growls like mad.

The anticipation is killing me, 20 lt & buff brahmas set to hatch tomorrow in my homemade microwavebator. This is my second time hatching and also the second try with a microwave, first time was a bust but eggs were damaged in shipping and none hatched but this time everything is good on egg shipping.

I'll let yous know if it is a good hatch and take pics of my bator if it works as it was pretty simple to make and a good use of those broken microwaves.

Everytime I post on the hatch along threads I get ignored.

help! I have a silkie egg pipped 24 hrs ago, started zipping (just made hole larger, pencil size) around noon, then quit, no progress as of this morning. Its still alive, I see it moving thru the hole...is this ok? Im thinking its too weak to break out of the shell, but dk.

I was so excited that I had 42 viable eggs out of the 42 I set.

I have a couple of Japanese bantams & silkie eggs under one of my broody silkies! I'm in...

And I have more eggs on the way to go under another broody. Its like ALL my silkies go broody at once! ARGH!

They have only been in there for 5 days so I am sure a few will stop developing.
