Welcome! You're going to love this breed! I hope your first hatch goes well. They're not the easiest to hatch and their shipped eggs especially are delicate, but they are worth it. They are delightful little butts right out of the egg, and I've found the older my rooster gets the more he becomes attached. Are you eventually adding them to an outdoor flock, or planning on keeping them in an enclosure?Hello Everyone !!!
I'm brand new to seramas, but not to chickens! I'm 'incubating' my 13 ebay eggs that I got on New Year's Eve under my best broody...a silkie named Riley Roo! Eighteen days
and counting !!!
I CAN'T WAIT !!!

There are 4 chicks bumbling around the incubator now! The newest one out couldn't bust their membrane, I gave them until it started turning brown to assist. They zipped very admirably all by themselves, so we'll give them all the credit, they did the hard part
Sadly, the chick in egg #1 passed away. Their blood was not fully absorbed at time of death, but it was post pip. They were cross beaked, turns out. I am betting either exhaustion from not being able to zip with that deformity, or suffocation, as they filled the egg very, very tightly. They would have been beautiful, and the tiniest little thing... poor baby... I've not lost one I heard the voice from yet. I can't tell if I'm taking this well or it hasn't really sunk in
