Good luck with your hatch.

It's not too early with silkie eggs. You should be able to see some spiders growing since the shells are so light.
Are you going to let your hen hatch? One thing you could do if you don't want more than 16 is you could let her "Incubate" ceramic eggs or golf balls and when your current batch hatches you can sneek the babes under her.

Yeah, I’m gonna let her hatch, the more the merrier. LOL. I already have two sold. Love my silkies and polish. (4 will be silkie, polish mix)

UPDATE: Everything is going pretty good. Out of 16 eggs, I have 11 that are for sure,, 3 not sure if there's a blood ring or not,, gonna give them a little longer, and 2 that aren't doing anything, gonna give them a little longer too. But I don't think they're fertile. I am doing this dry, no water. But some of my eggs have small air sacs and some have bigger sacs. what should I do about that? I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. I am so excited to finally have things go right.. Any help with the humidity would be very much appreciated.

That is not too unusual...different shells evaporate at different rates.
Tracing the air cells and taking some pics with the day they are on will get more definitive suggestions.

Neat I have Silkies due to hatch the same time as yours except mine are being hatched by my Hen.
Best of luck..

You can add water you the incubator. It won't mess up the hatch at all.
