Great pictures everyone! Love these silkies! I just put my precious eggs into lockdown last night. 15 of the 16 are looking real good.

Hoping for the best!

Hey y'all I got some questions 
first is it okay to use a bbs black in a paint pen?
second I know ur not suppose to eat eggs for about a month after worming but can I hatch eggs within the months time?
lastly I don't know if my new roo is doin the job : I see him doing the dance and I cracked an an egg and the dot is a ring instead of a a solid circle , what does this mean?
thanks in advance 

anyone??

anyone??

The fertile egg is supposed to look like a target with a circle and a dot in the middle. Painted Feather (Chicknherps) posted a picture of it not that long ago. If it doesn't look like that I don't think it is fertile.

Don't know about hatching eggs when medicating or worming. I know you can worm a pregnant mare and the medication will be absorbed by the foal in utero, same with a woman (not worming a woman but medications

).

Hope this helps some.

Out of my entire flock of 20 week olds, my one and only silkie hen was the first to give me my first egg! A nice, clean creamy white one...

Soooo cute countrygirl! I hope my silkie chick is a girl. 20 weeks isn't bad at all, that's how old my BO were when they started.

Thanks! I was also amazed since we had just had a temp drop and snow a couple days ago. Hopefully with our temps going up to the high 70's this week, some more will start laying!!

Macho, having a manly dirt bath. His butt fluff has been getting steadily bigger and thicker. I think it's competing with his chest now, which is a feat.

Ha. Macho's having a great time. Very handsome bird.

Aoxa, your photographs a very special. You have a real knack for catching the spirit of the birds, not just the looks. I always enjoy seeing your pics.
