I know I know...
I had to move the dried ones out cause they were kicking my peafowl eggs around!

 

[Paganbird]

Do you still have peafowl eggs in there?
I'm getting some Opal eggs shipped & I'm curious how your hatching experience is going.

Yes they are still in there.
They are due today or tomorrow. Depends on how you count the days.
I have 3 in there I know 1 is not going to hatch (but for some reason I still hold onto it...

)
The other 2 are iffy. I see nothing coming from them. No movements no sounds no nothing

 

[Paganbird]

Yeah, I heard they are difficult to hatch, particularly in an LG.
I'm gonna try it, though. I plan to put 6 in on Friday.
I wish you success in your peafowl hatch. I'd love to see some pics when they hatch!

Cute babies sarah, but are your silkie babies mixed?

 

[SarahFair]

What do you mean mixed? Like color mixes?
I got them from a lady here on BYC and she had them in a mix silkie pen. I dont think they are mixed with other chickens..
But then again I wouldnt know..

I just noticed in the pictures of your silkie chicks that their feet looked orange or yellow? Silkies feet and skin should be black none the less they are really cute and you have a good hatch it sounds like. I also am hatching in a LG and have had good and bad hatches.

I just went in and checked it out. Youre right.
My black ones have a few white toes but the buffs (im guessing that is their colors. If you can tell me what you think..GREAT!) have all black feet.

Could the white feet go away?

I guess it could go away but I am not sure maybe you should ask about it in the Breeds and genetic topixs. Someone may be able to help you out on why they have different colored toes.
