I have two Silkies...one went broody just after I got them. Since then, nothing. But they out-laid my standard chickens all winter so I can't complain.

Yes mine do too !!! This really surprised me when you read about there egg laying they say not much but my silkies keep up with my buffs and my rocks.

I only have 1 EE that goes broody right now (or she did once last year) . I had 2 other hens that would take turns going broody like literally I get 1 broke and I'm locking up the other. Unfortunately i lost both of them . One was an ee and the other mixed breed.


Hers another pic of Shelldon. Still getting use to his legs and trying to dry out. I told him his siblings might be happier if he would stop falling all over their eggs.

I still can't figure out how they get dry when the humidity is about 70%

Now I'm starting to wonder if we will be hatching anything... first the chickens didn't lay enough eggs, so shipment got delayed until today... now according to tracking the package hasn't been shipped, and the seller emailed asking if I'd gotten the eggs that weren't supposed to ship until today? Huh?

Hi guys, I've been apart of this thread since the start. My homemade incubator malfunctioned while I was at school today. I'm really worried the eggs will be dead now
I put eggs in the incubator 3 days ago and I think the temperature dropped to 33 degrees Celsius (91.5 Fahrenheit) for 6 hours today!
Does anyone know if this enough to kill all the eggs?

You never know I would still give them a shot, and candle in a few days.

day 13 and i cant wait tell lock down looks like i have three that are fertile and active but one had no veins just a yolk so i will toss that out tonight but three out of four is not half bad just hope all three make it to lock down im not sure if i will make it to lock down is it just me or does everyone sit next to the incubator when they see the first pip waiting for the little chickie to hatch how is every ones hatch going

My lock down was Sunday and about ever hour I am in there listening for that Peep.

So I'm not sure how to explain this. Pip #6 is now hatch #5 and should be either a cinnamon queen mix or bard mix with the lavender. I didn't expect to see any white or yellow chicks. So im a little baffled right now.

Cinnamon Queen chicks. .. red are girls...white is boy. I know you said mix, but guessing the white came out. I just hatched pure Cinnamon Queen. I got one boy, and 2 girls.
