New Silkie mama here!

[KailuaSilkies]

I'm a newbie with silkies and just had my first one hatch in the incubator!! (From my silkie hen's very first eggs). I concerned about the other two eggs that have pipped but no progress (it's been about 24 hours since first pip). Should I be assisting??.

Welcome to BYC! Do you have any pictures of the eggs? Usually I would start assisting if it has been that long. Are you sure the bird is still alive as well? And do you know how to assist?

Welcome to BYC! Glad you are here! I’ve never hatched chicks so I’ll let someone with knowledge and experience help you on that.

Congrats on your new chick!

I'll tag one of experienced members here to help you out (she raises silkies and hatches a lot): @Debbie292d
