Silkie Holiday Hatch-a-long

[korvo]

Alright everyone...I am a first time hatcher....set my silkie eggs in my new Brinsea MiniAdvance...temp at 99.5
Day 19 was yesterday...4 out off the eggs pipped and haven't changed since yesterday Just a pip hole in each of them and the first pipped at 1pm yesterday and it is now 8 am today
When should I be worried and help....They have been in lockdown since day 18 and I have not opened the incubator
I did notice the silkie eggs were harder to crack open than my Browns when I was making scrambled eggs for my mash I was making the chickens (do to this nasty snow storm)
Any advice would be helpful. Here is a picture of the pip hole that started at 1pm yesterday

I just realized this is day 20 for you. The one who pipped 1st can stay in for awhile. I have had hatches that start and last for 4 days, seen some last longer.

Were these your own eggs or shipped eggs?

Hi all,
Sam candled day before yesterday. She posted some pictures on the facebook Silkie Site. Anyone have any ideas as to the fertility of the eggs?

Sorry to hear this. :-(
Judith (Peepblessed) recently had some hatching eggs for sale and her stock is really beautiful, maybe you can see if she still has any eggs available?

We have been waiting since March for our Porcelain cockerel to start breeding with our two hens. They pick on him a bit, so he may ave to mature a bit more before we see any fertile eggs.

Are you new to hatching? I saw your cabinet incubator and am jealous!

Yay! And congratulations on his wins at the Knoxville show!

I thought that two looked clear and two looked like something is developing. Hang onto them until at least day 10. Sometimes we don't really see much veining but then get happily surprised.
