Well this is this the thing - I had to open the incubator to get her out and refill the water; that was 2 days ago and there's been nothing with the remaining 4 eggs since

I thought I saw one or two eggs move slightly yesterday but it might have been my eyes playing up... so waht to do? Take them out and pip them (probably not), take them out and candle to look for a beak and/or movement (dangerous...), or leave them (perhaps best even if frustrating...

We had 4 out of 17 Silkie eggs hatch a month ago, which was a little disheartening, but they were under mum and I think she simply wasnt big enough to keep al of them at the right temp/humidity...

Any advice on the eggs remaining??

They love to cuddle, when I had my muscovy duckling in the house I would wrap a towel around him and hold him and he loved it. and they can climb real good. I was very surprised at what mine could get out of.

Yeh she might be 4 days old but her claws are pretty sharp already... and if I could record and then upload video of her I'd have a go..
