Hope you will show us what color combinations you get. That silkie boy must be pretty busy.,

That's what I'm praying for with all those girls to "take care of."

Hello and welcome from my flock and I in Idaho!

One rooster if in good health can easily handle ten hens - you should have high fertility. Welcome to BYC, and good luck with the incubation.

Thanks!! I'll be candling in two days to see if there's anything happening. This is my first time using and incubator, since I had always used Broodys to do the work for me.

My first batch of eggs was an unsuccessful hatch. The second go around all three fertile eggs hatched. There are 2 black and 1 blue. They are partridge easter egger x blue silkie Roo babies! They are just over a week old now in with our new broad breasted turkey poults. The blue was crippled so we culled it a few days after hatching. It hatched 24 hours after the two black chicks did, which hatched with in 45 minutes of each other.
