The coolest thing...

[EmmaJane88]

... Happened earlier. If I shine my torch through my incy wall I can see through the air sac. This is how I knew 2 of my silkies had pipped internally.

I was watching one of their beaks waving around in the cell, then it dipped out of view. Next thing I knew, up it popped again cracking the shell!!! Not only did I witness my first ever pip, I actually SAW the chick do it!!

Best. Moment. Ever (until they started chirping at me!) xxx
