Silkie thread!

Shea all better. Walking around and stuff. Gave her yogert and she's gottes so much better. She was egg bound. I felt an egg and when I went to wash my hands I came back and found an egg. It was soft shell tho

Good outcome. She may not have any further problem, but just to be safe , add some vegetable or olive oil to a mash and feed it to her. I give mine sardines in olive oil.
 
oh so fun!!! My rooster I got is a catdance roo. and man, he is a feisty thing. I named him Tough Stuff, AKA, Mr Tough. LOL. sometimes Mr T. he's a pretty fellow, but gee. he sure likes everyone to know who's boss!
 
Day 22 for the new silkie egg!!!! No hatch yet that I know of... but when I candled it last that chick was movin!!!! Super excited! Any guesses on color? I had a greyish blue roo and I've got a buff broody. :lol:
The roo is colored like this
700

I have a splash hen that has like a bald spot on her head so her crest does not look as full as it used to. I just noticed her crest looking smaller about two weeks ago when I was getting her ready for a show. I have two shows coming up, one in almost a week and another in about three weeks. I don't know if its just taking a while to come back in or what. I have no idea when the feathers came out or how but her crest definitely looks smaller and I don't know why its not coming back in? Its been about 2-3 weeks now from when I noticed it. Oh and she doesn't seem to be molting.
 
Hey guys

it is day 6 and I saw no change on eggs in Bator.

I cracked one and nothing. Itbwas fertile and o even compared to store bought egg. But it wasn't doing anything.

temps set at 100 and turning hem 3x Idk what's wrong. My roosters supposedly,11 months a silkie and his spur is 1/2 inch long. Idk if he is infertile or maybe I'm,crazy and there not fertile. I looked in middle of circle and it looks like a squirt of white was places inside..hard to explain.

ivsee him do wing thing and peck her head but never he deed.

I have no other roosters so he can't watch what he is doing. What to do?

I wouldn't gt rid of him if he was infertile but he would have amazing chicks as he is super sweet.

I would leave the rest and check on day 10. Some eggs take longer than others. My fertile egg I have hatching today or tomorrow didn't show alot until day 10. Then I could see some veins. Patience is virtue with these eggs! I don't know a lot about eggs in a bator but theres a tip. GOOD LUCK!
