My first two Silkies! They are too funny.

Enjoy your new babies. Silkies are such great birds!

I woke up to 12 beautiful catdance babies this morning! I still have at least 3 pipped eggs so my question is, due to the chaos between egg shells and 12 very active chicks, do i remove them ... thus opening the bator... or wait it out. The poor remaining eggs are being kicked all over the place! 2 chicks were hatched day 19 and this in 21. Advice? I can lift an edge and get them - I don't have to take the whole lid off if that makes a difference.

Try bumping up the humidity in the room with a humidifier it you find it nessisary to remove the chicks. . That's what I did. Well actually, I didn't have a humidifier but my rice cooker did a fine job lol.

Sooooooo, I love my Silkies. Never got into them for money. BUT, after recent events of a predator getting into my crappy building, my Mom put a pre-fab barn on her credit card, and I am going to be making payments. Any chance of making money from them, any slim chance? I kind of implied that maybe I would. Or at least thought I would.

I'll be raising white, blue/black/splash (might sell all the black chicks, because I'll have black splits) Porcelain, Lavender, buff. The Porcelain, Lavender, black split and buff are Catdance, So I'm starting with pretty babies.

I manage to make enough to pay for feed by selling very small numbers of chicks and hatching eggs. I'd imagine, if you have a bator, and are hatching and selling like a mad person you could make it amount to something. Good luck!

That would be a good idea. The lady I buy chicks and eggs from says she makes most of $ by selling on ebay and eggbid. She sells a dozen Silkie eggs for $30+ shipping! More if its one of her more rare colors like porcelain, lavender or paint!
