They were shipped eggs and when more than half of them were detached, but fertile I stood them up in the incubator with the fat end up for 5 days then laid them back down with everybody else and they actually righted themselves during that 5 days. 18 outta 20 were viable and made it to lock down. 14 of those hatched. I'm thrilled with this.. 30% on my first hatch. 70 on my 2ndCongratulations! Great hatch!
Were these shipped eggs or your own? They sure are cute!
Outstanding! I did several batches of shipped eggs this summer and everyone was complaining about USPS. I did about the same as most then, 30% on average. The ones worse were just shocking to me that they just never were viable, but from a trusted breeder. With my own silkie eggs I get 100% sometimes.They were shipped eggs and when more than half of them were detached, but fertile I stood them up in the incubator with the fat end up for 5 days then laid them back down with everybody else and they actually righted themselves during that 5 days. 18 outta 20 were viable and made it to lock down. 14 of those hatched.
