Ok 2nd bunch of Silkie eggs in with a dozen other mixed eggs. Day 10. I candled and the mixed eggs are doing fine. All the silkie eggs AGAIN are clear.

I have 2 hens laying and unfortunately there are 4 roosters in with them so you would think they would be fertile. If I had a place for the other 3 roosters trust me I would seperate. 2 are Lavendar and I would LOVE to sell them. I like the Blue I have the best.

Any ideas or am I just hitting my head against a rock????
 
Did you crack the eggs all along to check for fertility and wait until it is consistent?

Not that that would help much when it comes to silkies. IMHO they are near impossible to hatch. I have been trying for years and I FINALLY got 3 out of 10 eggs to hatch. And they are still alive - they are 3 days old now and no signs of wry neck or sheer stupidity.
 
Maybe the roosters are fighting so much they can't find the time to mate? I dunno, simply speculation.
