Comon babies!
 
I'll be thrilled if they do OK. i did a risky staggered hatch this time. I set my buff orp eggs and then 8 days later I got silkie eggs and added them to the incubator. I didn't even think about the hatches being a week apart. I had a great hatch with the orps, of the 10 I had in on day 18, 8 hatched, two pipped but never hatched, still 8 out of 10 is great. I had the little silkie eggs in cartons to protect them from the marauding babies, but they were exposed to the increased humidity and got less turning than they should have. I hope they do OK, I have 11 of them in there. two are peeping, lots are rocking. Wish me luck!
The most exciting thing is that they sent me a variety of colors, while, blue, splash, black and partridge, so who knows what I'll get. The flock that they came from was gorgeous, hattrick line silkies (or so they claim!

Good luck, loir, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for pictures!
 
Good luck with your hatch!
