Thanks everyone

I will surely post any movement or sounds coming from the incubator! Just a couple days now....

Mom is going to be in chicken heaven

Chick/egg temp will go up the last three days, just make sure the air vent is open (red plug on top of the incubator) and you will be fine.
come on chicks! come on chicks!

Angie - never have enough chicken

She finally joined BYC, and she started her own thread about the hatch here https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=128442

She's going to take tons of photos, I'm sure!

Well I'm firing up my incubator again I want to try the egg carton method this time were you put a block under one side of the bator to tilt the eggs then change sides of bator 3 times a day to tilt eggs. I got some more eggs from a friend to try out hopefully there will be another giant silkie egg in this batch again my other giant silkie went to chicken heaven this morning. I will try this method 1st that way I can see how it works before I get my next batch from Angie.

 

[IcedMochaChick]

Aw, I'm sorry about your silkie

Hopefully you'll get another from your next hatch. Good Luck!

AHHH So sorry to here that, how old was your silkie? was it the baby?

It was a surprise silkie that came from a jumbo brown egg looked like it was a rir egg so it was a standard something mixed with a silkie. I also have a silkie auracona bantam mix that hatched out of a really dark green egg. I got a dozen eggs from him again today I think he thinks I am eating the eggs but his chics are to cute not to hatch out but he don't no that or he would charge me for them lol. So I will try these for the next 3 weeks and then get more of angies showgirl eggs and try for my blue or splash again. I'm going to have so many chickens my wife is going to kill me!

Nah, She will just put you in the dog house for a day.

Just kidding!!!

Danny, I seperated my showgirl last week (1/30), will give 3 weeks, then they should be good.
I have a beautiful lavender hen with touch of buff on one wing tip, I put her in buff pen, she looks odd in there, but I didn't want take any chance of getting any buff showing up in blue/splash pen. It was so much easier just let them all run together.

My name is Angie Jones, and I am a hatchaholic.
