I got some welsummer eggs from Sam too, but they are weeks away from hatching. This thread made me try to candle a few but they are still so young I can't see much from the dark shells so I just quit and will try in another week or so, (when I need room to squeeze in more eggs!) I do have some silkies pipping tonight, got them from a really nice lady in GA. Mary Robbins I think... lemme see if I can find that thread.

These are what is pipping right now!

I know some of her colors are mixed, but there are some nice looking BIRDS in that flock! Wish me luck on a silky smooth hatch!

Of the 24 eggs I got from Sam, there were only 9 that I couldn't see into when candling at day 18...but it took a very powerful light to see through any of them!

Right now, there's 9 in the bator that aren't pipped...probably the 9 I couldn't see into LOL! It looks like those 9 are gonna keep me waiting.

I've been outside cleaning brooders and moving chicks around...to make room for these new Wellie chicks. I've got 8 hatched, and 1 pipped. Looks like I'll end up with 9 beautiful fuzzy butts!
