Silkie hatch along

[Chicken Egg 17]

If he don't ask I'm not going to say anything and I might not get them vaccinated though but I might just to make sure coming from another state

I quit hatching quail and also have started hatching silkies.My daughters hen only lays 2 eggs a day,so I can only start 15 to 20 at a time,and have 3 incubators.
My daughter comes and takes them,but I'm keeping this one and maybe 1 out next 2 hatchs 12 more days

Are there feet already feathered when they hatch

 

[howfunkyisurchicken]

Yes

 

[Chicken Egg 17]

Do they hatch alright for you to

 

[Chicken Egg 17]

Even maybe shipped eggs

 

[howfunkyisurchicken]

My own eggs hatch great. I've never had much luck with shipped, of any breed, but lots of other folks seem to do alright hatching them.

 

[Chicken Egg 17]

Ok thanks I might do the hatching eggs after all

 

[Chicken Egg 17]

O does anyone know how often they lay an egg thanks

Ive had trouble getting my humidity up,about half hatch by themselves and I help out the rest.They aren't much different than my quail.I just got back in this after 50 years.Ive swiched the rails in my new gensis from quail to chicken eggs.I l love these little birds.My daughter cant take anymore so I can pick a couple more.I have hatched out a bunch .
Me 51 years ago had lots of different quail,pheasants,doves and show chickens.I sure don't look like that anymore.
