Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Yup, that's what I'd do.  I think Amy and Ruby incubate Silkies at 40% humidity +.

Actually, I Just told my Husband today I was going to name my BWA cockerel "Sue" 

40% ....I'll remember that....I was around 20.

I candled the silkie eggs tonight 2 clears of 5.....but the other three are developing good at day 8...I think the air cells are a bit big. So I increased humidity.....
.....sound about the right thing to do.

Sounds like you did fine...

thanks Rav....she's a cute duckling.

Very welcome... and thank you...

guess we better hope it is a girl....or it'll just have to grow up tough....kinda like a boy named Sue

I'm fairly positive... all our tiny greys turn out to be girls, lol... if not, well Lilly will be our grey drake... haven't kept any for sure yet, the very few grey drakes we've hatched ended up oversized...

Well Rav...my daughter didn't like the movie....I like the special effects....so I guess it ain't no lord of the rings but the effects are pretty CRAZY.....

Good luck, Phil! Dream of fishing - that should calm the mind

I'm going to hit it too.

Have a good night, or day depending on which continent you are on.

Almost forgot to post the results of my hatching 'research'! lol...

15 eggs went into lockdown... 2 pipped wrong end and a 3rd tried, had to assist those... 12 internally pipped, and 8 of those externally pipped 12hrs later... put safe holes in other 4, accidentally broke open too big of a hole in 1, assisted it as well... by morning 1 with a safe hole had passed... the rest externally pipped as well... 8 'lings hatched entirely on their own, the last 2 couldn't zip due to excessive goo, assisted those 2...

So, out of 15, 8 pipped, zipped and hatched completely on their own, 6 were assisted and lost 1...

14 happy, healthy, bouncing 'lings in a nice variety of colors...

For size comparison, Lilly is the dark one towards bottom right with bill tucked into the pile, lol...
