Silkie thread!

I was told he is Colombian and he does have black in his hackles, I will see if I can find a better picture of him.

I don't know, maybe he is.
You can definitely see some black in the hackles here in this picture. But like I said, I don't remember the standard for the color so I could easily be wrong.

My beautiful Paint girl Duchess and my Patridge and Blue chick hopefuls from the last couple hatches...

I live in Oklahoma and I'm dying to get my hands on some Silkies! I ordered some from Ideal Poultry it was either The weather or a bad batch but I lost them all I found some gorgeous ones in Paden, OK but my husband didn't want to drive all The way there because of gas prices. PLEASE let me know if anyone has any to sell or knows of anyone! Thank you!

I like that Paint.

Her wings are a little low...or loose. Whatever they call it? lol Hopefully they'll tuck in a bit more as she ages. Nice pullet though.

I don't know what an egg should look like at 36 hours, but that's probably too early to candle. Have you read through this topic?

There are great pictures there that show the development of a fertile egg.

I take it that you have your eggs in the incubator? Are you keeping them tip down or up, as you have in the pictures?

 

[SilkieBaby81]

i'm keeping them on there sides and manually turning 3 times a day.

That should be ok.
Give them a few more days and candle again. I'm pretty new at this also, but I've waited until about day 5. By then you'll see veins, if they're fertile.
