Jo is a silkie mix, her mom is a hatchery grade (but awesome) silkie and dad is a barnyard mix rooster who is a mottly gray with some barring...he is on my profile page.

I have a problem my broody was supposed to hatch 9 chicks today and only one hatched and I saw cracks on other eggs too, she never got yo so they didn't freeze even though it's a cold day. Any answers!?

Be patient, they may hatch yet.
