Did you candle the eggs during the incubation period? Are they in an incubator or under a hen?

ya I candled them there is babies in them I could see them moving inside the egg I have them in my incubator

Silkie breeding question. I have two silkie roos 1 red partridge the other a black. My hen is a partridge too. Can I breed her to the black if I do what will the outcome be? HE came in a bantam straight run special and is a sweet boy. But if he is not purposeful he will need to go. IvE tried finding him his own girlfriends and I've struck out

They best way to explain the color is palomino

I've had a few chicks like this they start kind of an orange color, then when they become adult it would have blue leakage and undercoat. Not to say yours will but that's how mine turned out.

So if this is the case the chick as an adult will be a buff type color with blue leakage??
I know it's just a guess, but I just would like to have an idea

My very first hatch took 23-25 days for the chicks to hatch. I was freaking out the entire time. If you candled them just before lockdown and they were viable then patience is your best course. (I'm assuming you're not having any humidity or temperature issues.) If it were me and nothing had happened by day 25, I'd be candling eggs again...but patience has never been one of my virtues.
