October hatch along! Silkie/EE crosses, sex links and EE's!

[Kennas_Kritters]

Alright y'all get ready for another hatch-a-long! This will be my 4th time using a incubator (the NR360° which I totally recommend even for newbies). I am pretty much obsessed with hatching stuff. I adore seeing those ugly wet little blobs turn into the most fluffiest and cutest little puffball.... you get the point.... anyways... Read below for details on my next batch of eggs! I have chicks hatching right now so when they are all in the brooder the next batch of eggs goes in (after I clean it of course).

Batch #4 is being collected while the current eggs are hatching. I already have 4 silkie, 6 Sex link and 4 Easter egger eggs. I plan to put whatever I have in the incubator in the next couple days so stay tuned! I will post updates here in the comments to tell y'all how the eggs are doing and I'll post pictures when they hatch. I have noticed alot of people wanting to see pictures of EE X Silkie crosses so if my 4 eggs are fertile and I hatch some silkie X EE chicks I'll post updates as they grow so you can all see what they look like. My last egg from my silkie Elvira hatched out th chick below.... kinda looked like a Halloween chicken lol. Pictures are of my silkie hen Elvira, Lucky the EE rooster and Elvira's last chick from a EE rooster. excuse the white EE hen photobombing Elvira's pic below. hehe.
