[nicky5]

well I’m not exactly New, but looks like I have not been on for a year and it was a short time, so I will introduce my self!!
I’m Nicky I live in Traverse City Mi
I have three kiddos and 3 dogs, 2 ferrets, fish a kitty and my sweat chickens!! I have two 2 1/2 year old silkies, coco is brown and tommy is grey both girls and I have now a 6 week old silkie mix chick and two 5 week old Americana chcicks and since it is so cold out they are all living in my house in an extra large dog crate!!!
I’m needing some help on two different topics!! #1. If anyone could help me sex my Americana babies..
And #2. I have some incubating questions on my 24 day of incubating!!!
Thank you to all

Baby Americana can't be sexed until about 6 weeks old. Sometimes older

Day 24 for chicken eggs indicates that the temps were too low

Could they still hatch though?? I canceled them today and two eggs have little flutter in them?? I just did not know how many days is to many?!
It’s kind of a very long story and all my fault but I’m hoping there is hope for the two babies!!!
