Can I join in?
I was planning on getting 12 silkie eggs, but after looking at the birds from a seller of the eggs online, now the 12 egg, have turned into 24 lol
5 white, 5 black, 5 gold, 5 splash and 4 cuckoo!! And i am going to be fixing up my pen soon, making it more secure etc, its all money at the minute
im going to be broke soon!! Plus my 11 chicken eggs and one duck egg are going into lockdown tomorrow, and my geese are going into lock down next thursday
im really hoping for a good hatch rate

, for the silkie eggs, i am going to be using an octagon 20, advance, with the automatic turning cradle, im hoping with such a good incubator, it will help hith the hatch rate!!
i hear that a dry hatches are good. At the minute i am hatching my geese in 30 % humidity, and its staying around that, with no water in the incubtor, so should I also put it about 30% for the silkies and then at lockdown, bring it upto 60%? would a dry hatch work better with silkie eggs? And should I do a cool down period, and if so how long?
